Sockets -
Sockets are a method for communication between a client program and a server
program over a network. A socket is defined as "the endpoint in a connection." Sockets
are created and used with a set
of programming requests or "function calls" sometimes called the sockets application
programming interface (API).
SSL/TSL (Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security) -
These two protocols (SSL is succeeded by TSL) are cryptographic protocols that
provide secure communication on a network. SSL is commonly used over HTTP to
form HTTPS, as used for example, on the Internet for electronic financial transactions.
SSL uses public key certificates to verify the identity of the server.
