Exam SY0-601 topic 1 question 258 discussion

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is the successor protocol to SSL. TLS is an improved version of SSL. It works in much the same way as the SSL, using encryption to protect the transfer of data and information. The two terms are often used interchangeably in the industry although SSL is still widely used. https://www.websecurity.digicert.com/security-topics/what-is-ssl-tls-https#:~:text=Transport%20Layer%20Security%20(TLS)%20is,SSL%20is%20still%20widely%20used.

Come on man, stop to use ChatGPT to generate a ton of same and duplicated words in here buddy

The most secure protocol to implement for a website handling online transactions and credit card payments is TLS (Transport Layer Security). TLS is the successor to SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and provides secure communication over the internet by encrypting data transmission between the web server and the client's browser. When customers make online purchases and provide sensitive information like credit card details, it is crucial to protect that data from interception and unauthorized access. Implementing TLS ensures that the data transmitted between the client and the server is encrypted, making it difficult for attackers to eavesdrop on the communication and steal sensitive information.

The most secure protocol to implement for a website that hosts a storefront application allowing visitors to add products to a shopping cart and pay for the products using a credit card is TLS (Transport Layer Security). TLS provides secure communication over the internet and ensures that data is transmitted between two systems without being intercepted and tampered with. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the predecessor of TLS and is no longer recommended for use due to known security vulnerabilities. SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) is used for secure file transfers and is not appropriate for securing web traffic. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a network protocol used for managing and monitoring devices on a network and is not relevant for securing web traffic.

Answer is TLS. This is the successor of SSL.

SFTP deals with flle transfer and SNMP deals with network devices such as routers & switches. TLS is the improved version of SSL. TLS has higher and way more reliable security than SSL. Therefore D: TLS is the answer.

The most secure protocol to implement for a website that allows visitors to pay for products using a credit card would be TLS (Transport Layer Security). This protocol is designed to provide secure communications over a computer network and can be used to protect the transmission of sensitive information, such as credit card numbers and other personal data. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is an older protocol that has largely been replaced by TLS, so it would not be the best choice for this type of application. SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) is a secure file transfer protocol, but it is not typically used for transmitting sensitive information like credit card numbers. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for managing network devices, but it does not provide the same level of security as TLS.

Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is the use of SSL or TLS to encrypt a channel over which HTTP traffic is transmitted. Because of issues with all versions of SSL, only TLS is recommended for use.

D - TLS. Agreed.

SSL is more specific than TLS

Well we know TLS is secure but everyone still refers to the TLS as SSL. wonder if that context applies here.
