To establish a secure connection between client and server
Which vulnerability is associated with the Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode in SSL/TLS?
Poodle Attack
Why is TLS not directly used in datagram environments?
Packets may be lost or reordered in datagram environments
In SSL/TLS, what is the purpose of the initialization vector (IV) in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC)?
To generate randomness for secure output
What happens when a server is forced to downgrade its connection to SSL 3.0 during an attack?
Server exposes itself to vulnerabilities like Poodle attack
How does DTLS handle packet loss?
By assigning a specific sequence number to each handshake message
What does HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) aim to achieve?
