Explanation

SSH (Secure Shell) is the encrypted replacement for Telnet and provides secure virtual terminal (remote command-line) sessions. It uses public-key cryptography for authentication and encrypts the entire session, protecting credentials and data in transit. TLS is a general-purpose transport encryption layer used by HTTPS and other protocols but is not itself a terminal emulation protocol. SCP is a secure file-copy tool built on top of SSH. S/MIME is for encrypting and signing email messages. SSH is the protocol specifically designed for secure remote terminal access.
