CISSP – Information Systems Security Architecture Professional (ISSAP) — Question 79

You work as a Network Administrator for NetTech Inc. You want to have secure communication on the company's intranet. You decide to use public key and private key pairs. What will you implement to accomplish this?

Answer options

• A. Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS)
• B. VPN
• C. FTP server
• D. Certificate server

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as a Certificate server is responsible for issuing and managing digital certificates that facilitate secure communications using public key infrastructure. Options A, B, and C do not specifically provide the key management necessary for public and private key pairs, making them unsuitable for this requirement.
