Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The protocol for establishing a secure communication channel between a client and a server is SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) which is now deprecated and replaced by TLS (Transport Layer Security). HTTP is a protocol for transferring data over the internet but it doesn't provide security features. SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) and RSA (Rivest, Shamir, Adleman) are cryptographic algorithms used for encryption and digital signatures but they don't establish a secure communication channel in themselves.
