Exam 200-201 topic 1 question 50 discussion

.... impact security between.. = encryption D is correct

Selected Answer: D An SSL certificate is a security credential that binds a public key to a website's identity. When a user visits a website that uses SSL, the browser will verify the website's certificate and establish an encrypted connection between the client and the server. This ensures that all data exchanged between the client and the server is protected from eavesdropping and tampering.

An SSL/TLS certificate is a digital certificate that is used to secure communications between a client and a server. When a client connects to a server using SSL/TLS, the server presents its SSL/TLS certificate, which includes a public key. The client then uses this public key to encrypt data that is sent to the server. The SSL/TLS certificate provides assurance to the client that they are communicating with the intended server, and that the communication is encrypted and secure. This helps to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks, eavesdropping, and data tampering.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a server and a client. https://www.digicert.com/what-is-an-ssl-certificate#:~:text=Secure%20Sockets%20Layer%20(SSL)%20is,client%20(e.g.%2C%20Outlook).

D ...creates an "encrypted channel" between client and server

SSL Certificates DO identify the server for Authentication, however I dont like the use of the term "Authentication Channel" in answer A. So I would go with encryption in this case

"The server certificate is used for server authentication (by the client) and ensures that server can be trusted."

IMHO - authenticated channel :) D- correct answer

SSL/TLS is an encryption protocol but certificate is for authentication so A is correct

D is correct

in the book pg 207 it talks bout client to server authentication to web server. and that would then be A correct?

d is correct
