What do you refer to as secure network protocol?

Hello,

How are you? Secure network protocol means the protocol that ensures the security and integrity of data in transit over a network connection. It defines the processes and methodology to secure network data from any illegitimate attempt to review or extract the contents of data. It primarily designed to prevent any unauthorized user, application service or device from accessing network data. This is applied virtually to all data types regardless of the network medium used. Example of this types of Protocols are SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol), SHTTP (Secure Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) and SSL (Secure Socket Layer). That is exactly it.
