Selected Answer: D
Secure HTTP (S-HTTP) was an early standard designed to send individual messages securely. S-HTTP aimed to provide encryption for specific HTTP documents, allowing users to secure particular pages or resources on a website. However, it didn’t gain widespread adoption and was eventually overshadowed by Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and its successor, Transport Layer Security (TLS). These protocols offer more comprehensive security for entire communication sessions between clients and servers, rather than just individual messages.
