A browser running a secure connection will be using which transport protocol?
A
https
B
http
C
csma/ca
D
gsm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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). This protocol secures communications by using what’s known as an asymmetric public key infrastructure.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is an extension of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). It uses encryption for secure communication over a computer network, and is widely used on the Internet.

Detailed explanation-3: -Port 443. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) recognizes the TCP port number 443 as the default HTTPS protocol. It provides an encryption algorithm for exchanging information between web servers and browsers. HTTPS port 443 works by securing network traffic packets before the data transmission occurs.

Detailed explanation-4: -HTTPS is an implementation of TLS encryption on top of the HTTP protocol, which is used by all websites as well as some other web services. Any website that uses HTTPS is therefore employing TLS encryption.
