An SSL session is taking place. After the handshake phase has been established and the cipher
has been selected, which of the following are being used to secure data in transport? (Select
TWO)
A.
Symmetrical encryption
B.
Ephemeral Key generation
C.
Diffie-Hellman
D.
AES
E.
RSA
F.
Asymmetrical encryption
The correct answers are Symmetrical encryption and AES.
TLS/SSL sessions use symmetrical encryption after the handshake phase and asymmetrical key exchange. The only symmetrical cipher listed is AES.
Incorrect answers:
Diffie-Hellman and RSA are asymmetrical key exchange/ciphers. They might be used in the initial key exchange, but not to secure data in transport under SSL/TLS. Ephemeral key generation is one of the options for the Diffie-Hellman exchange.

Thank you. AES and Symmetric are the only plausible answers
