Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) R80 — Question 331

VPN gateways must authenticate to each other prior to exchanging information. What are the two types of credentials used for authentication?

Answer options

• A. 3DES and MD5
• B. Certificates and IPsec
• C. Certificates and pre-shared secret
• D. IPsec and VPN Domains

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as certificates and pre-shared secrets are commonly used methods for authenticating VPN gateways to each other. Options A, B, and D do not represent the correct types of authentication credentials; 3DES and MD5 are encryption and hashing algorithms, while IPsec and VPN Domains refer to protocols and configurations, not authentication methods.
