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. [1][2] In HTTPS, the communication protocol is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS) or, formerly, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
v. t. e. Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol designed to provide communications security over a computer network. The protocol is widely used in applications such as email, instant messaging, and voice over IP, but its use in securing HTTPS remains the most publicly visible. The TLS protocol aims primarily to provide ...
HTTP Strict Transport Security. HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is a policy mechanism that helps to protect websites against man-in-the-middle attacks such as protocol downgrade attacks [1] and cookie hijacking. It allows web servers to declare that web browsers (or other complying user agents) should automatically interact with it using ...
Server Name Indication (SNI) is an extension to the Transport Layer Security (TLS) computer networking protocol by which a client indicates which hostname it is attempting to connect to at the start of the handshaking process. [1] The extension allows a server to present one of multiple possible certificates on the same IP address and TCP port ...
WebSocket is a computer communications protocol, providing a simultaneous two-way communication channel over a single Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection. The WebSocket protocol was standardized by the IETF as RFC 6455 in 2011. The current specification allowing web applications to use this protocol is known as WebSockets. [1]
HTTP/2 is defined both for HTTP URIs (i.e. without TLS encryption, a configuration which is abbreviated in h2c) and for HTTPS URIs (over TLS using ALPN extension [48] where TLS 1.2 or newer is required, a configuration which is abbreviated in h2).
e. QUIC (/ kwɪk /) is a general-purpose transport layer network protocol initially designed by Jim Roskind at Google. [1][2][3] It was first implemented and deployed in 2012. [4] It was publicly announced in 2013 as experimentation broadened, and was described at an IETF meeting. [5][6][7][8] QUIC is used by more than half of all connections ...
Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol. Not to be confused with Simple Symmetric Transport Protocol. In computer networking, Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP) is a form of virtual private network (VPN) tunnel that provides a mechanism to transport Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) traffic through an SSL/TLS channel.
