CCSP Exam - Question 338


Which protocol, as a part of TLS, handles negotiating and establishing a connection between two parties?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

The TLS handshake protocol is responsible for negotiating and establishing a secure connection between two parties. It involves processes such as agreeing on encryption methods and exchanging encryption keys. This protocol ensures that both parties are authenticated and that the data transmitted between them is secure from potential eavesdroppers or tampering. Other terms like record, binding, and negotiation are not specific protocols within TLS.

The Handshake Protocol in TLS (Transport Layer Security) is responsible for negotiating and establishing a secure connection between two parties (client and server). It ensures that: Both parties agree on cryptographic parameters (cipher suites, key exchange). The server (and sometimes the client) authenticates itself using certificates. Session keys are securely exchanged to encrypt future communications. Why Not the Others? A. Record Protocol: Handles encryption and transmission of data after the handshake is completed. B. Binding: Not a standard protocol in TLS. C. Negotiation: While the handshake involves negotiation, there is no standalone "Negotiation Protocol" in TLS.
