I've always considered it to operate at the transport layer as it;s simply an encrypted version of TCP. However, Wikipedia OSI-model lists it as operating at the presentation layer, as it's concerned with the transformation of data between the application and transport layers.

TLS is updated version of SSL.


What layer of OSI model does HTTP operate?

HTTPS is not a separate protocol, but refers to use of ordinary HTTP over an encrypted Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection. So it really does not have a place per say, because it's not a protocol it's a hybrid. Or you can say it originates in the Application layer and then finishes in the Presentation layer.


What layer of OSI model does TLS operate?

Transport Layer This is not correct, it's the session layer of the OSI model SSL was created with the TCP/IP model in mind, not the OSI model. While it is technically true SSL or TLS is in the Session Layer of the OSI, it should be referred to in conjunction with the TCP/IP Model. In this case, it resides above the Transport Layer, providing security for it, hence the name of SSL's successor Transport Layer Security (TLS). Note: TLS 1.0 is SSL 3.1 FYI, please take note the ITU X.800 recommendation states there are no security services provided in the session layer.

What encryption process uses two keys and includes RSA as a common solution?

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) are both common encryption processes which accept RSA as a common method for encryption. Since RSA uses two keys (public and private) both SSL and TLS would satisfy the conditions of the question.


What is difference between ssl session and ssl connection?

A ssl connection is a transport services that provides a acceptable type of service and A type is created by the Protocol, and it defines a set of cryptographic security parameters which can be shared among multiple connections.
