ITPEC IP October 2024 Question 32
ITPEC IP October 2024 — Question 32 of 100
HTTPS encrypts communication in both directions between the browser and the web server. HTTPS carries HTTP through TLS. After the TLS handshake establishes cryptographic keys and authenticates the server certificate, application data sent from the PC to the server and response data sent back from the server to the PC are protected against eavesdropping and undetected alteration while in transit.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- (a) encryption is not limited to browser requests
- (b) encryption is not limited to server responses
- (d) the server configuration determines whether HTTPS is offered and which protocols are accepted, but an established HTTPS connection protects both directions
Key rule: TLS creates a bidirectional secure channel; every application-data record carried through that channel is protected regardless of direction.
