ITPEC IP April 2018 Question 42
ITPEC IP April 2018 — Question 42 of 100
SSL/TLS protects communications between a web browser and a web server through encryption. It establishes session keys, protects data confidentiality and integrity in both directions, and commonly authenticates the server using a digital certificate.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- generating a one-time password is an authentication mechanism separate from TLS
- blocking unauthorized websites is URL or web-content filtering
- detecting network-delivered malware is a function of security monitoring or anti-malware tools
Key rule: TLS secures data in transit; it does not itself generate OTPs, enforce browsing policy, or scan for malware.
