Which of the following protocols uses TLS/SSL to ensure secure transmission of data over the Internet?

BSCTP

CFTP

DHTTP

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is a protocol that uses TLS/SSL to ensure secure transmission of data over the Internet. HTTPS is an extension of HTTP, which is the standard protocol for transferring data between web servers and browsers. HTTPS encrypts the data exchanged between the client and the server, preventing anyone from intercepting, modifying, or stealing the data. HTTPS also verifies the identity of the server using digital certificates, preventing spoofing or phishing attacks. HTTPS is widely used for web applications that handle sensitive information, such as online banking, e-commerce, or social media. Reference:

SCTP is not related to TLS/SSL, just saying.

Wait, so HTTP doesn't use TLS? That's surprising!

A is the only one that uses TLS/SSL for sure.

I thought FTP was secure too?

Definitely A, HTTPS is the secure one!

I feel like I’ve seen practice questions where HTTP was contrasted with HTTPS, and it was clear that only HTTPS uses TLS/SSL.

SCTP sounds familiar, but I don’t recall it being related to TLS/SSL. I think it’s more about transport layers.

I remember studying that HTTPS is definitely the secure version of HTTP, so I’m leaning towards A.

I think HTTPS is the one that uses TLS/SSL, but I’m not completely sure if FTP might have some secure version too.

This is a good question to test our understanding of secure protocols. I'll eliminate the options I know don't use SSL/TLS, then double-check that HTTPS is the correct choice.

Okay, I remember learning that HTTPS is the secure version of HTTP that uses encryption. The other options like FTP and SCTP don't ring a bell for me in terms of SSL/TLS, so I'll go with HTTPS.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know HTTPS uses SSL/TLS, but I'm not confident the other options don't use it as well. I'll have to think this through carefully.
