gRPC [Java] Master Class: Build Modern API and Microservices - [Theory] SSL Security

The video tutorial explains the importance of encrypting GRPC calls using SSL certificates to ensure secure communication between clients and servers. It covers the basics of SSL, its necessity for protecting sensitive data, and the implementation process in GRPC. The tutorial also details the setup of SSL certificates, including creating a certificate authority and the SSL handshake process, ensuring secure data exchange.

Why is encryption necessary in GRPC communication?

• To reduce data size

• To increase data transfer speed

• To ensure data is not altered

• To prevent unauthorized access

What is the main purpose of SSL in internet communication?

• To compress data

• To encrypt data

• To reduce latency

• To increase bandwidth

What does SSL encryption prevent during data transmission?

• Man-in-the-middle attacks

• Data compression

• Data fragmentation

• Data duplication

What is the successor of SSL?

• TLS

• HTTPS

• FTP

• SSH

Which type of verification does GRPC primarily use?

• Two-way verification

• No verification

• One-way verification

• Three-way verification

What is the role of a certificate authority in SSL setup?

• To manage network traffic

• To generate private keys

• To sign certificate requests

• To encrypt data

What is the purpose of an SSL handshake?

• To increase data speed

• To reduce server load

• To verify server identity

• To compress data
