HTTP is secured by protocols such as HTTPS, which combines HTTP with Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). These protocols encrypt the data transmitted between the client and server, ensuring confidentiality and integrity. Additionally, they provide authentication, helping to verify the identity of the parties involved in the communication. By using HTTPS, users can protect sensitive information from eavesdropping and tampering.
The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP). For secure conections, the HTTP protocol operates on top of the Secure Sockect Layer (SSL) / Transport Layer Security protocols. This is HTTP Secure (HTTPS).
Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure [HTTPS]
Extranets typically utilize several protocols to ensure secure and efficient communication. Commonly used protocols include HTTP/HTTPS for web-based access, FTP for file transfers, and VPN protocols (like IPsec or SSL/TLS) to secure connections over the internet. Additionally, email protocols such as SMTP and IMAP may be employed for communication between users within the extranet. Overall, the choice of protocols depends on the specific requirements for security, data exchange, and user access.
Web browsers and web servers communicate using protocols, the most common of which is the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). This set of rules defines how messages are formatted and transmitted over the internet. Other related protocols include HTTPS (HTTP Secure) for secure communication and WebSocket for real-time data exchange. These protocols ensure that data is properly requested, transmitted, and displayed to users.

When your technology assets communicate, it is important that they do so in a secure manner using ports and protocols that are secure. Which of the following would be the best protocol for secure communication?
Application layer protocols: DNS and HTTP Transport layer protocols: UDP for DNS and TCP for HTTP
The secure version of HTTP is called HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure). It uses encryption protocols, primarily SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or TLS (Transport Layer Security), to protect the data exchanged between a user's browser and a web server. This ensures confidentiality, integrity, and authentication, making it essential for secure online transactions and protecting sensitive information. Websites using HTTPS are typically indicated by a padlock icon in the browser's address bar.
Several port protocols are designed to encrypt communications, including Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS), commonly used with HTTPS (port 443) for secure web traffic. Other protocols include Secure Shell (SSH) on port 22 for secure remote access and File Transfer Protocol Secure (FTPS) on port 990 for secure file transfers. Additionally, Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) can encrypt data at the network layer, often used in Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).
