HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) uses SSL/TLS encryption to secure the communication between the client and the server, providing authentication and confidentiality. SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) is used for secure file transfers, but it does not provide secure communication for other types of data. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is used for email transmission and does not provide secure communication by default. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is not secure and is vulnerable to data interception and manipulation.
