What is the Predecessor to Transport Layer Security used to encrypt communication over the internet?

SSL
VPN
FTPS
TCP/IP

Explanation

Answer: A - TLS succeeded SSL as the technology to encrypt Internet communications.

Key Takeaway: TLS, or Transport Layer Security, is replacing SSL, or Secure Socket Layers, as the method of encrypting traffic over the Internet. It has been a graceful transmission as they both use the HTTPS protocol and the client uses TLS as well as it used SSL with no manual intervention needed
