ITPEC IP April 2018 — Question 33 of 100

HTTPS encrypts communication in both directions between the browser and the web server. TLS protects requests sent by the PC and responses returned by the server, while also providing integrity checks and normally authenticating the server with a certificate.

Answer (c)

Why not others:
- encryption is not restricted to only client-to-server traffic

- encryption is not restricted to only server-to-client traffic

- HTTPS establishes a protected bidirectional session rather than choosing one encrypted direction through a server setting

Key rule: HTTPS is HTTP carried through TLS, protecting the confidentiality and integrity of the entire client-server session.
