SNP pioneered secure sockets for Internet applications in general, independently and concurrently with the design and development of the [[HTTP]] protocol for the [[world-wide web]] which was still in its infancy in 1993. Subsequent secure socket layers (SSL by [[Netscape]] and [[Transport Layer Security|TLS]] by [[IETF]]), implemented several years later using the architecture and key ideas first presented in SNP, enabled secure e-commerce between browsers and servers. Today, many other Internet applications (including [[email]]) use [[HTTPS]], which consists of HTTP running over a secure sockets layer.
