Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which two encryption protocols might be used to provide secure transmissions for browser and web server communications?
A
HTTP & HTTPS
B
SSL & TLS
C
SSL & HTTP
D
TCP & UDP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Transport Layer Security (TLS) and the original Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) are cryptographic protocols that are used for transferring information over networks such as the Internet. They both encrypt the data transferred between communicating endpoints, such as a Web browser and a Web server.

Detailed explanation-2: -SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and its successor, Transport Layer Security (TLS), provide a way to encrypt a communication channel between two computers over the Internet. In most cases, the terms SSL and TLS can be used interchangeably unless you’re referring to a specific version of the protocol.

Detailed explanation-3: -The two types of data encryption methods are Symmetric Encryption and Asymmetric Encryption. Symmetric encryption is also known as private-key cryptography or secret key algorithm and requires both the parties of sender and receiver to have access to the same key to decrypt the data.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transport Layer Security, or TLS, is a widely adopted security protocol designed to facilitate privacy and data security for communications over the Internet. A primary use case of TLS is encrypting the communication between web applications and servers, such as web browsers loading a website.

Detailed explanation-5: -TLS is a cryptographic protocol that provides end-to-end security of data sent between applications over the Internet. It is mostly familiar to users through its use in secure web browsing, and in particular the padlock icon that appears in web browsers when a secure session is established.
