Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer (PCNSE) — Question 211

During SSL decryption, which three factors affect resource consumption? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. key exchange algorithm
• B. transaction size
• C. TLS protocol version
• D. applications ta non-standard ports
• E. certificate issuer

Correct answer: A, B, C

Explanation

The key exchange algorithm, transaction size, and TLS protocol version all directly impact the computational resources needed for SSL decryption. The key exchange algorithm determines the complexity of the cryptographic operations, while transaction size affects the amount of data to be processed. The TLS protocol version can introduce different encryption methods and overheads, whereas the other options do not significantly influence resource consumption in the same way.
