Web browser to web server

When sensitive data is transmitted between the web browser and the web server, some degree of security is usually required. Relevant security measures usually involve two general tasks:

• Ensuring that the communication of data is secure.
• Ensuring that only valid users retrieve information from the web server.

These tasks are typically handled by web servers through various security mechanisms, including the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, Windows NT Challenge/Response authentication, and other such mechanisms.
