Questions and Answers

What is the main purpose of SSL in network communication?

  • Real-time communication
  • Handling errors
  • Ensuring data integrity (correct)
  • Creating persistent connections
  • Which technology has superseded SSL, offering better encryption and more security features?

  • Transport Layer Security (TLS) (correct)
  • Socket programming
  • HTTP connections
  • WebSockets
  • How does WebSockets differ from regular HTTP connections?

  • It is based on a request-response model
  • It establishes a persistent connection for real-time communication (correct)
  • It uses UDP instead of TCP
  • It requires explicit request and response for every message sent
  • What type of encryption protocols can sockets be used with to provide secure communication over a network?
