Which option is a protocol suite that provides end-to-end encryption for web traffic?

• A. SSH
• B. HTTPS/TLS encryption
• C. Tor
• D. IPsec VPN

Answer: (B)

End-to-end protection for web traffic comes from using TLS within HTTPS. When a browser connects to a website over HTTPS, TLS authenticates the server with a certificate, negotiates a session key, and then uses that key to encrypt all the data exchanged. This means the content stays confidential and intact from your device to the server, and the server can be verified as legitimate.

Other options serve different purposes. SSH is aimed at secure remote access and file transfers, not typical web-page traffic. Tor focuses on anonymity by routing traffic through multiple relays, which may hide who you are but isn’t the standard end-to-end encryption for a web request unless TLS is also used. IPsec VPN encrypts at the network level for the connection between endpoints, not specifically the web traffic inside a browser session.

So, HTTPS/TLS encryption is the protocol suite that provides end-to-end encryption for web traffic.
