SSL/TLS Secures Web Traffic: HTTPS builds upon HTTP, adding the encryption provided by Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or its successor, Transport Layer Security (TLS).
Other Protocols Have Different Purposes:
IPSec: Secures IP traffic at a network level, can be used alongside TLS.
SNMPv3: Management protocol, offers security features, but not the primary mechanism in HTTPS.
SSH: Secure remote shell, unrelated to web data encryption.
