<td>'''443'''<td>'''HTTPS'''<td>Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure - The standard HTTP (non-secure) protocol transfers data in clear text (i.e with no encryption and visible to anyone who might intercept the traffic). Whilst this is acceptable for most web browsing purposes it poses a serious security risk when confidential information such as credit card details need to be transmitted from the browser to the web server. HTTPS addresses this by using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to send encypted data between the client and server.</td>

	TCP/IP provides a total of 65,535 ports of which 1023 are considered to be ''well known'' ports. In reality the number of ports that are used by popular network clients and services comprises an even smaller subset of the well known group of ports. The following table lists the functions of this subset.		TCP/IP provides a total of 65,535 ports of which 1023 are considered to be ''well known'' ports.
