You're designing a web application that requires secure communication over the Internet. Explain how you would implement SSL/TLS (Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security) protocols within the TCP/IP model to achieve this.

  • Configure SSL termination at the web server for decryption.
  • Implement HTTPS (HTTP Secure) for secure web communication.
  • Use SSL/TLS certificates to encrypt data transmitted over HTTP.
  • Utilize SSL/TLS handshake protocols for secure connections.
SSL/TLS protocols are implemented at the Transport layer (Layer 4) in the TCP/IP model. The SSL/TLS handshake establishes a secure connection, ensuring encryption and data integrity. Using SSL/TLS certificates and handshakes is fundamental for secure web communication. HTTPS is HTTP over SSL/TLS, providing security for web applications. SSL termination decrypts traffic at the server. While important, it's a specific implementation detail and not the core mechanism for SSL/TLS security.
