A network administrator recently had an internal security audit completed to ensure that the network configuration met the requirements outlined within the corporate security policy. The audit found several issues with the internal configuration.

The audit returned showing that passwords in router and switch configuration files were shared across several devices and not encrypted within the stored backup. The audit also found that username and passwords transferred to a local web application were being transferred in plain text. The application itself is old, but it is important that users are unable to login as other users or see the traffic to the website.

What technology would make it impossible to see plain text information being sent via HTTP requests?

Answers

A$.$ HTTPS
