Which protocol, as a part of TLS, handles the actual secure communications and transmission of data?

  • A. Negotiation
  • B. Handshake
  • C. Transfer
  • D. Record
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D 🗳️
The TLS record protocol is the actual secure communications method for transmitting data; it's responsible for encrypting and authenticating packets throughout their transmission between the parties, and in some cases it also performs compression. The TLS handshake protocol is what negotiates and establishes the TLS connection between two parties and enables the secure communications channel to then handle data transmissions. Negotiation and transfer are not protocols under TLS.

Selected Answer: D
The Record Protocol in TLS (Transport Layer Security) is responsible for securing the actual transmission of data once the connection has been established. It ensures confidentiality (encryption), integrity (message authentication), and segmentation (framing of messages). Why Not the Others? A. Negotiation → No specific "Negotiation" protocol in TLS; negotiation is part of the Handshake process. B. Handshake → Establishes the secure session but does not handle actual data transmission. C. Transfer → Not a defined TLS protocol; data transfer is handled by the Record Protocol.

D is correct. The TLS record protocol provides the actual secure communications method for data in transit. Ensures data confidentiality by encrypting the connection with symmetric key encryption and validates data integrity through the use of hashes and checksums. Used to encapsulate various upper layer protocols, most notably the TLS handshake.
