An application developer is designing an application involving secure transports from one service to another that will pass over port 80 for a request.
Which of the following secure protocols is the developer MOST likely to use?

The developer is designing an application that will pass over port 80 for a request, which means that the traffic will be using the HTTP protocol. The HTTP protocol operates on port 80 by default and is not a secure protocol. Therefore, the developer will need to use a secure protocol to protect the data being transmitted.
Of the protocols listed, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the most likely to be used. SSL is a secure protocol that can be used to protect HTTP traffic. It provides secure communication between two endpoints by encrypting the data transmitted over the network. SSL is used to establish a secure connection between a web server and a web client. It can be used to secure other protocols as well.
FTPS (File Transfer Protocol Secure) and SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) are both used for secure file transfers, but they operate on different ports (FTP operates on port 21, while SFTP operates on port 22). Since the application is passing over port 80, neither of these protocols is a good fit.
LDAPS (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol Secure) is a secure version of LDAP and is used for directory services. It operates on port 636, so it is not a good fit for an application that is passing over port 80.
SSH (Secure Shell) is a secure protocol that is used for remote access to servers. It operates on port 22, so it is not a good fit for an application that is passing over port 80.
In summary, SSL is the most likely secure protocol that the developer will use for the application that is passing over port 80 for a request.
