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:
