Explanation
To establish a secure connection with a web server configured for security, a user's browser relies on TLS, which encrypts the communication channel.
Common mistakes.
- A. TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is an insecure protocol primarily used for simple file transfers, not for secure web server connections.
- B. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the fundamental protocol for web communication, but by itself, it is unsecured; secure web connections use HTTPS, which is HTTP over TLS.
- C. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used for transferring files but is inherently insecure for sensitive data unless secured with TLS (FTPS), and it's not the primary protocol for general web server access.
