The IETF

The IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force)**

they are the crew responsible for giving us all these great acronyms. HTTP, SMTP, TCP, DNS, TLS, SSH, OAuth, Websocket, IPV6, and XMPP!!! they were also responsible with VCF (vcards) and ICS (ical)

• HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol): The protocol used for transferring data over the World Wide Web. It defines how web browsers and servers communicate.

• SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol): The protocol used for sending and receiving email messages.

• TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and IP (Internet Protocol): The foundation of internet communication, defining how data is transmitted and routed across networks.

• DNS (Domain Name System): The system used to translate human-readable domain names (like www.example.com) into IP addresses.

• TLS (Transport Layer Security) and SSL (Secure Sockets Layer): Protocols that provide secure and encrypted communication over networks, commonly used for secure web browsing (HTTPS).

• SSH (Secure Shell): A cryptographic network protocol for secure remote access to computers.

• OAuth (Open Authorization): A standard for authorization, allowing third-party applications to access resources on behalf of a user.

• WebSocket: A protocol that enables bidirectional communication between web browsers and web servers over a single, long-lived connection.

• IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6): An updated version of the Internet Protocol that expands the address space to accommodate the growing number of devices connected to the internet.

• XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol): A protocol for real-time messaging and presence information, commonly used in instant messaging and chat applications.
