TLS Quiz

What is the purpose of TLS?

• To provide secure communication over a network

• To improve data transmission speed

• To replace public key encryption

• To establish peer-to-peer connections

Which of the following is NOT a feature of TLS?

• Encryption

• Data integrity

• Faster data processing

• Authentication

What does TLS stand for?

• Transmission Line Security

• Transport Layer Security

• Transient Link Security

• Trusted Layer System

How does TLS improve upon SSL?

• By offering improved encryption methods

• By being faster

• By being open-source

• By using fewer protocols

What is a key difference between SSL and TLS?

• TLS uses the SSL handshake protocol

• TLS uses two layers: the record and handshake protocols

• TLS does not require certificates

• TLS operates at a different network layer

Which two layers make up TLS?

• Transport and Encryption

• Record and Handshake

• Application and Transport

• Session and Application

What role does the Record Protocol play in TLS?

• To establish the session key

• To ensure data encryption and integrity

• To verify the client’s identity

• To validate the server’s digital certificate

What is the first step in the TLS handshake process?

• The server sends its private key to the client

• The client asks the server to identify itself

• The client sends its digital certificate

• The server decrypts the client’s message

During the handshake, what does the server send to the client to prove its identity?

• Symmetric key

• Digital certificate

• Encrypted message

• Session token

Why does the client send an encrypted message to the server during the handshake?

• To authenticate itself

• To establish the symmetric key

• To verify the server’s private key

• To start an encrypted session
