CompTIA Network+ Exam Review

Category - Networking

Jack is hosting a web site on his server. He has enabled a paid service on his web site and wants to use his server to make financial transactions. Which feature should he enable?
  1. HTTP
  2. FTP
  3. HTTPS
  4. SFTP
Explanation
Answer - C - He should enable the HTTP Secure or HTTPS feature on his web server. This creates a secure channel over an insecure network and ensures reasonable protection from eavesdroppers and man-in-the-middle attacks, if adequate cipher suites are used and the server certificate is verified and trusted.

Key Takeaway: Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a combination of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol combined with the SSL/TLS protocol to provide encryption and secure identification of the server. HTTPS connections are often used for payment transactions on the World Wide Web and for sensitive transactions in corporate information systems.
