SOAP
simple object access protocol
SOAP provides a simple, extensible, and rich XML
messaging framework that defines application protocols that
offer increased interoperability in distributed environments.
It uses XML technologies to define the extensible messaging
framework, which provides a message construct that can be
exchanged over a variety of underlying protocols. SOAP
also defines a complete processing model that outlines how
messages are processed as they travel through a path.
SSL
secure sockets layer
A protocol for transmitting private documents over the
Internet. SSL uses a cryptographic system that uses two keys
to encrypt data, a public key and a private key known only
to the recipient of the message. By convention, URLs that
require an SSL connection start with https:// instead of
http://.

An Internet transport layer protocol, TCP is a
windows-based reliable transport protocol used for many
