Questions and Answers

Match the SSL protocol with its primary function:

Record Protocol = Provides confidentiality and integrity Alert Protocol = Detects and handles errors Handshake Protocol = Establishes a secure connection Session Protocol = Manages session identifiers

Match the security protocol with its primary purpose:

TLS = Transport Layer Security SHTTP = Secure Hyper Text Transfer Protocol SET = Secure Electronic Transaction PEM = Privacy Enhanced Mail

Match the error type with its consequence in SSL connection:

Fatal error = Immediately closes the SSL connection Non-fatal error = Does not result in the termination of the connection Warning = Sends an alert message to the other party Notification = Destroys the session identifiers, secrets and keys

Match the SSL protocol with its operation phase:

<p>Handshake Protocol = Before the connection is established Record Protocol = After a successful handshake is completed Alert Protocol = During the data transmission Session Protocol = After the connection is terminated</p> Signup and view all the answers

Match the security concept with its primary goal:

<p>Confidentiality = Prevents unauthorized access to data Integrity = Ensures data consistency and accuracy Authentication = Verifies the identity of the parties Availability = Ensures data is accessible and usable</p> Signup and view all the answers

Match the security protocol with its primary application:

<p>TLS = Web browsing and email communication SHTTP = Secure online transactions SET = Electronic payments and transactions PEM = Email encryption and decryption</p> Signup and view all the answers

Match the SSL protocol with its message format:

<p>Record Protocol = Provides a structured format for data transmission Alert Protocol = Defines a specific format for error messages Handshake Protocol = Establishes a secure connection with a specific format Session Protocol = Manages session identifiers with a unique format</p> Signup and view all the answers

Match the security protocol with its primary security feature:

<p>TLS = Encryption and decryption SHTTP = Secure sockets and authentication SET = Digital certificates and signatures PEM = Encryption and decryption with a private key</p> Signup and view all the answers

Match the error handling mechanism with its consequence in SSL connection:

<p>Fatal error = Terminates the connection immediately Non-fatal error = Handles the error and continues the connection Warning = Sends an alert message to the other party Notification = Destroys the session identifiers, secrets and keys</p> Signup and view all the answers

Match the security protocol with its primary security goal:

<p>TLS = Prevents eavesdropping and tampering SHTTP = Ensures data integrity and authenticity SET = Protects sensitive information and ensures confidentiality PEM = Provides secure email communication and authentication</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

  • A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a mechanism that employs encryption, authentication, and integrity protection to use a public network (like the Internet) as if it is a private network.

  • VPN combines the advantages of a public network (cheap and easily available) with those of a private network (secure and reliable).

  • There are three main VPN protocols: Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP), and IPsec.

  • PPTP is used on Windows NT systems and mainly supports VPN connectivity between a single user and a LAN, rather than between two LANs.

  • L2TP is an improvement over PPTP, considered a secure open standard for VPN connections, and works for both user-to-LAN and LAN-to-LAN combinations.

  • L2TP can include IPsec functionality as well.

  • IPsec offers two levels of security: security at the IP packet level itself and higher-level security mechanisms.

  • SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is an Internet protocol for the secure exchange of information between a Web browser and a Web server.

  • SSL provides two basic security services: authentication and confidentiality.

  • SSL logically provides a secure pipe between the Web browser and the Web server.

  • Netscape Corporation developed SSL in 1994, and it is the world’s most popular Web-security mechanism.

  • SSL has three sub-protocols: the Handshake Protocol, the Record Protocol, and the Alert Protocol.

  • The Handshake Protocol is used by the client and the server to communicate using an SSL-enabled connection.

  • The Handshake protocol consists of a series of messages between the client and the server.

  • The Record Protocol provides two services to an SSL connection: confidentiality and integrity.

  • The Alert Protocol is used when either the client or the server detects an error, and the detecting party sends an alert message to the other party.
