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

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

Selected Answer: D
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.
