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

AHTTPS

BSCTP

CFTP

DHTTP

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.

Cecil 11 months ago

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

Carlton 11 months ago

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

Alberto 12 months ago

I thought FTP was secure too?

Kattie 12 months ago

Definitely A, HTTPS is the secure one!

Jean 1 year ago

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

Paris 1 year ago

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

Timmy 1 year ago

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

Leslie 1 year ago

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.

Cristal 1 year ago

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.

Benedict 1 year ago

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.

Leota 1 year ago

This one seems pretty straightforward. HTTPS is the obvious choice since it uses TLS/SSL for secure data transmission.

Rocco 2 years ago

I agree with Dong, HTTPS is the correct answer for secure data transmission.

Haha, I bet someone's grandmother still uses FTP. HTTPS is where it's at!

FTP? Really? That's so 90s. HTTPS is the modern, secure choice.

Dong 2 years ago

I think it's A) HTTPS because it uses TLS/SSL for secure transmission.

Patti 2 years ago

Hmm, I thought SCTP was for secure transmission, but I guess HTTPS is the way to go.

Isabelle 2 years ago

↳ replying to Patti

FTP and HTTP are not secure protocols like HTTPS.

Kassandra 2 years ago

↳ replying to Patti

SCTP may be secure, but HTTPS is more commonly used for secure transmission.

Magdalene 2 years ago

↳ replying to Patti

Yeah, HTTPS is the way to go to ensure data security.

↳ replying to Patti

I always use HTTPS for secure transmission.
