Target entity: STARTTLS Everywhere Context triple: [EFF Technology Projects, developedProject, STARTTLS Everywhere]
-
A.
STARTTLS
STARTTLS is a protocol command used to upgrade an existing unencrypted connection to a secure TLS-encrypted one, commonly in email and other text-based communication protocols.
-
B.
Upgrading to TLS Within HTTP/1.1
"Upgrading to TLS Within HTTP/1.1" is an IETF standards-track specification that defines how HTTP/1.1 connections can be dynamically upgraded from cleartext to Transport Layer Security (TLS) using the HTTP Upgrade mechanism.
-
C.
SSL/TLS
SSL/TLS is a widely used cryptographic protocol suite that provides secure, encrypted communication over computer networks, most notably for web traffic.
-
D.
UTA (Using TLS in Applications)
UTA (Using TLS in Applications) is an IETF working group focused on defining best practices and standards for the secure use of Transport Layer Security (TLS) in application protocols.
-
E.
TLS
TLS (Transport Layer Security) is a cryptographic protocol that secures data transmitted over networks by providing encryption, authentication, and integrity between communicating applications.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
