Implementing Cisco Collaboration Cloud and Edge Infrastructure (CLCEI) — Question 75

Which mechanism does TLS use to validate identity?

Answer options

• A. server certificate
• B. shared secret
• C. username and a password
• D. IP address of the peer

Correct answer: A

Explanation

TLS utilizes a server certificate to validate identity, ensuring that the server is who it claims to be. The other options, such as shared secrets and usernames/passwords, do not provide the same level of assurance in the context of TLS, while an IP address does not inherently verify identity.
