Explanation
TLS (Transport Layer Security) and SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) are both cryptographic protocols designed to provide secure, encrypted communication between a client and server over the Internet. SSL was the original protocol developed by Netscape; TLS is its successor and more secure replacement - both are widely recognized as standards for securing web traffic (HTTPS), email, and other services. HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) transmits data in plaintext with no encryption, making it inherently insecure. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used for network device management and monitoring, not for securing client-server communication.
