Mia is a network administrator for a bank. She is responsible for secure communications with her company's customer website. Which of the following would be the best for her to implement?

Answer Options

A

SSL

B

PPTP

C

IPSec

D

TLS

Correct Answer: D

Explanation

Transport Layer Security (TLS) provides a reliable method of encrypting web traffic. It supports mutual authentication and is considered secure. Although Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) can encrypt web traffic, TLS was created in 1999 as its successor. Although many network administrators still use the term SSL, in most cases today what you are using is actually TLS, not the outdated SSL. Point-to-point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) and Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) are protocols for establishing a VPN, not for encrypting web traffic.
