Similar to Secure Shell (SSH-2), Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) uses symmetric encryption for encrypting the
bulk of the data being sent over the session and it uses asymmetric or public key cryptography for:

A.
Peer Authentication

B.
Peer Identification

C.
Server Authentication

D.
Name Resolution

Explanation:
Peer authentication is an integral part of the SSL protocol. Peer authentication relies on the availability of trust
anchors and authentication keys.
Incorrect Answers:
