Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals (CBROPS) — Question 305
Which list identifies the information that the client sends to the server in the negotiation phase of the TLS handshake?
Answer options
- A. ClientStart, ClientKeyExchange, cipher-suites it supports, and suggested compression methods
- B. ClientStart, TLS versions it supports, cipher-suites it supports, and suggested compression methods
- C. ClientHello, TLS versions it supports, cipher-suites it supports, and suggested compression methods
- D. ClientHello, ClientKeyExchange, cipher-suites it supports, and suggested compression methods
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is C, as the ClientHello message is sent by the client during the TLS handshake to indicate supported TLS versions, cipher-suites, and compression methods. Options A and B incorrectly mention 'ClientStart', which is not a valid message in the TLS handshake, while option D includes 'ClientKeyExchange', which is not part of the negotiation phase.
