Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The successor to SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is TLS (Transport Layer Security), which is a protocol that encrypts data traveling between a client computer and an HTTP server. Therefore, the correct choice is A. S-HTTP (Secure HTTP) is another protocol that provides security for HTTP traffic, but it is not the successor to SSL. P2P (Peer-to-Peer) and EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution) are not related to encryption protocols.
