Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R81 — Question 177

When an encrypted packet is decrypted, where does this happen?

Answer options

• A. Inbound chain
• B. Outbound chain
• C. Security policy
• D. Decryption is not supported

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The decryption of an encrypted packet occurs in the Inbound chain, where incoming traffic is processed. The Outbound chain is responsible for outgoing traffic, while the Security policy pertains to the rules governing traffic flow, and 'Decryption is not supported' is incorrect as decryption is a fundamental feature in most security systems.
