FWL 1.0—8-11 Common Protocols which use Encryption When using a public network such as a WLAN, FTP, HTTP, POP3, and SMTP are insecure and should be avoided whenever possible. Utilize protocols with encryption. Traffic No Encryption Encryption Web Browsing HTTPS * HTTP File Transfer TFTP or FTP SCP Remote Mgmt POP3 or SMTP SPOP3 * Telnet SSH * SSL/TLS
