HTTP

 What is HTTP?

Based on the from the HAProxy Technologies (2024)  “Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is one of the internet's foundational protocols, enabling reliable communication between clients and servers at the application layer (Layer 7) of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model.” (Haproxy, 2024)

The quote clearly highlights the importance of the HTTP protocol in the functioning of the Internet. I find it interesting that its role within the application layer of the OSI model is mentioned, as it helps us understand the level at which it operates. Personally, I see HTTP as the bridge that allows my browser to communicate with servers and display the information I'm looking for on the web. Although we often don't realize it, this protocol makes it possible for us to access pages, submit forms, or view online content quickly and reliably.

LAN

  What is LAN? Based on the Neos Networks (2023)  “A local area network (LAN) is a network of computers or other devices interconnected in one location to enable communication and resource sharing.” (Neos Networks, 2023) I find it useful because it clarifies that it's a network that connects multiple devices in the same location, such as a home, office, or school. Personally, I see LANs as a key tool for facilitating group work or sharing resources, such as printers, files, or internet access. Thanks to this type of network, I can easily communicate between devices without needing to be connected to the internet, making it practical, fast, and efficient in small spaces.

TLS

  What is TLS? Based to the Cyber Security Agence of Singapure (2025) “Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol that provides end-to-end security of data sent between applications over the Internet.” (Cyber Security Agence of Singapure , 2025) This quote perfectly highlights the importance of TLS in protecting our data online. I find it incredible how this protocol acts almost invisibly, ensuring that the information I send from an app or browser arrives securely at its destination. Personally, knowing that technology like TLS exists gives me more confidence when using online services, as it protects my data from potential attacks or unauthorized access. For me, it's an essential part of digital security in today's world.
