Transport Layer Security

Which layer of the OSI model does SSL/TLS primarily operate at?

• Application Layer

• Transport Layer

• Network Layer

• Presentation Layer

What is the primary purpose of the Transport Layer in the OSI model?

• Translating data formats

• Routing data packets

• Managing end-to-end communication

• Handling physical connections

Which of the following is NOT a version of TLS?

• 1.0

• 1.2

• 1.3

• 1.4

TLS is the successor to SSL. What key improvement does TLS offer over SSL?

• Stronger encryption algorithms

• Faster data transmission

• Simpler implementation

• Reduced packet size

Which encryption method uses the same key for both encryption and decryption?

• Asymmetric encryption

• Symmetric encryption

• Diffie-Hellman

• RSA

In asymmetric encryption, what keys are used for encryption and decryption respectively?

• Public key for both

• Private key for both

• Public key for encryption and private key for decryption

• Private key for encryption and public key for decryption

Which algorithm is commonly used for asymmetric encryption?

• AES

• RSA

• DES

• MD5

What is the purpose of the Diffie-Hellman key exchange?

• To encrypt data

• To exchange keys securely

• To hash data

• To sign digital certificates

What is a primary advantage of Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) over traditional Diffie-Hellman?

• Larger key sizes for stronger security

• Smaller key sizes for similar security

• Simpler mathematical operations

• Compatibility with older systems

Which component is NOT typically included in an SSL certificate?

• Server's public key

• Domain name

• Client's public key

• Validity period
