CompTIA Security+ Question K-1

Which of the following cryptographic related browser settings allows an organization to communicate securely?

A. SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
B. 3DES
C. Trusted Sites
D. HMAC

Answer: A

Explanation:
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is used to establish a secure communication connection between two TCP-based machines. Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a security protocol that expands upon SSL. Many industry analysts predict that TLS will replace SSL in the future. TLS 1.0 was first defined in RFC 2246 in January 1999 as an upgrade of SSL Version 3.0. As of February 2015, the latest versions of all major web browsers support TLS 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2, have them enabled by default.
