Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals (CBROPS) — Question 94
How does an SSL certificate impact security between the client and the server?
Answer options
- A. by enabling an authenticated channel between the client and the server
- B. by creating an integrated channel between the client and the server
- C. by enabling an authorized channel between the client and the server
- D. by creating an encrypted channel between the client and the server
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D because an SSL certificate secures data transmission by encrypting the information exchanged between the client and the server, preventing eavesdropping. The other options mention channels that may not necessarily ensure data confidentiality or integrity, such as authenticated or authorized channels, which do not imply encryption.
