Which of the following statements about Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) are true? Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose two.

HTTPS uses TCP port 443 as its default port, as standardized in RFC 2818 which defines HTTP over TLS/SSL. This port designation distinguishes HTTPS traffic from plain HTTP traffic at the transport layer. Servers and clients both recognize port 443 as the standard endpoint for encrypted web communication.

HTTPS appears in the URL scheme (https://) to instruct the browser to establish an encrypted TLS/SSL connection to the target web server before transmitting any data. This URL prefix is the standard mechanism for indicating that communication with a web resource is protected in transit. It ensures data confidentiality, integrity, and server authentication between the client and server.

HTTPS is not specifically designed to secure database servers on internal networks - it is a web-layer protocol that secures HTTP communication between clients and web servers over any network.

TCP port 80 is the default port for plain, unencrypted HTTP traffic and provides no transport-layer encryption; HTTPS specifically uses port 443 to differentiate secure from non-secure web traffic.
