GCIH — Question 45


Which of the following is the difference between SSL and S-HTTP?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) operates at the transport layer, ensuring secure communication between web browsers and servers by providing a secure end-to-end connection. On the other hand, S-HTTP (Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol) operates at the application layer. It is an extension of HTTP that allows secure communication directly at the application level, specifically for securing individual messages.

It's B. TCP and UDP are transport layer protocols (and now QUIC). SSL works at session layer which is categorised as application layer.
