The paper presented on June 8, 1994 at the USENIX Summer Technical Conference <ref name="SNP-USENIX">{{cite journal |last1=Woo |first1=Thomas |last2=Bindignavle |first2=Raghuram |last3=Su |first3=Shaowen |last4=Lam |first4=Simon |title=SNP: An Interface for Secure Network Programming |journal=Proceedings USENIX Summer Technical Conference |date=June 1994 |url=http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/lam/Vita/Cpapers/WBSL94.pdf |accessdate=21 July 2019}}</ref> includes the system design together with performance measurement results from the prototype implementation to clearly demonstrate the practicality of a secure sockets layer.
SNP invented 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 ([[Transport Layer Security|SSL]] by [[Netscape]] and [[Transport Layer Security|TLS]] by [[IETF]]), re-implemented several years later using key ideas first presented in SNP, enabled secure e-commerce between browsers and servers. Today, many Internet applications (including [[email]]) use [[HTTPS]] which consists of HTTP running over a secure sockets layer.
