| Questions | Answers |
|---|---|
| IP | Internet Protocol: A set of communication protocols used for the internet and similar networks. |
| HTTP | Hyper Text Transfer Protocol: Used by Web Browsers and Web servers to exchange files through the WWW and intranets. |
| HTTPS | HTTP over SSL: A secure form of HTTP that uses SSL to encrypt data before it is transmitted. |
| SSL | Secure Sockets Layer: Secures messages being transmitted on the internet. |
| TLS | Transport Layer Security: Ensures that messages being transmitted on the internet are private and tamper proof. |
| FTP | File Transfer Protocol: Provides a generic method of transferring files. Can include security through usernames and passwords and allows file transfer between dissimilar computer systems. |
| TFTP | Trivial File Transfer Protocol: Similar to FTP. Lets you transfer files between a host and an FTP server. |
| SFTP | Secure File Transfer Protocol: A file transfer protocol that uses SSH to secure transfer data. |
| SCP | Secure Copy: Associated with Unix/Linux networks and used to transfer files between systems. |
| SMTP | Simple Mail Transfer Protocol: Used to route electronic mail through the internetwork. |
| IMAP | Internet Message Access Protocol: An e-mail retrieval protocol designed to enable users to access their e-mail from various locations without the need to transfer messages or files back. |
| POP3 | Post Office Protocol 3: Part of the TCP/IP protocol suite and used to retrieve e-mail from a remote server to a local client over a TCP/IP connection. |
| DHCP | Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol: A method for automatically assigning addresses and other configuration parameters to network hosts. |
| DNS | Domain Name System: A system that is distributed throughout the internetwork to provide address/name resolution. |
| NTP | Network Time Protocol: Used to communicate time synchronization information between systems on a network. |
| NNTP | Network News Transport Protocol: The most widely-used protocol that manages notes posted on Usenet Newsgroups. |
| LDAP | Lightweight Directory Protocol: Used to allow searching and updating of a directory service. |
| SNMP | Simple Network Management Protocol: A protocol designed for managing complex networks. |
| Telnet | Remote Terminal Emulation: Allows an attached computer to act as a dumb terminal, with data processing taking place on the TCP/IP host computer. |
| SSH | Secure Shell: Allows for secure interactive control of remote systems. |
| TCP | Transmission Control Protocol: Provides services that ensure accurate and timely delivery of network communications between two hosts. |
| UDP | User Datagram Protocol: A host-to-host protocol like TCP that does not include mechanisms for ensuring timely and accurate delivery. |
| ICMP | Internet Control Message Protocol: Works closely with IP in providing error and control information, by allowing hosts to exchange packet status information, which helps moving the packets through the internetwork. |
| IGMP | Internet Group Membership Protocol: A protocol for defining host groups. |
