WHAT IS COMPUTER SECURITY

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
HTTPS can be based on which types of Encryption Protocol?
A
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
B
Transport Layer Security (TLS)
C
Network Address Translation (NAT)
D
System Transport Security (STS)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In HTTPS, the communication protocol is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS) or, formerly, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The protocol is therefore also referred to as HTTP over TLS, or HTTP over SSL.

Detailed explanation-2: -HTTPS today uses Transport Layer Security, or TLS. TLS is a network protocol that establishes an encrypted connection to an authenticated peer over an untrusted network. Earlier, less secure versions of this protocol were called Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL).

Detailed explanation-3: -HTTPS uses an encryption protocol to encrypt communications. The protocol is called Transport Layer Security (TLS), although formerly it was known as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

Detailed explanation-4: -SSL/TLS uses both asymmetric and symmetric encryption to protect the confidentiality and integrity of data-in-transit. Asymmetric encryption is used to establish a secure session between a client and a server, and symmetric encryption is used to exchange data within the secured session.

Detailed explanation-5: -The S in “HTTPS” stands for “secure.” HTTPS is just HTTP with SSL/TLS. A website with an HTTPS address has a legitimate SSL certificate issued by a certificate authority, and traffic to and from that website is authenticated and encrypted with the SSL/TLS protocol.
