Title: Identify protocols.
Course: Cyber Security/Forensics Infusion Units (CYBR) > Section: Unit 2: SOCIAL ENGINEERING AND PERSONAL CYBER SECURITY: Maintaining Network Security

Identification should include brief descriptions of the following:

- Transmission control protocol (TCP)—a network communication protocol designed to send data packets over the Internet
- User Datagram Protocol (UDP)—part of the Internet protocol suite used by programs running on different computers on a network; UDP is used to send short messages called datagrams, but it is an unreliable, connectionless protocol
- HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP)—an application-layer protocol used primarily on the Internet; a stateless and connectionless protocol
- Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS)—a variant of HTTP that adds a layer of security on the data in transit through a secure socket layer (SSL) or transport layer security (TLS) protocol connection
- File Transfer Protocol (FTP)—a client/server protocol used for transferring files to or exchanging files with a host computer. FTP is also the Internet standard for moving or transferring files from one computer to another using TCP or IP networks.
- Post Office Protocol (POP)—a type of computer networking and Internet standard protocol that extracts and retrieves e-mail from a remote mail server for access by the host machine
