Explanation:
“The Session layer (layer 5) is responsible for establishing, maintaining, and
terminating communication sessions between two computers. The primary technology within layer
5 is a gateway. The following protocols operate within the Session layer:
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Network File System (NFS)
Structured Query Language (SQL)
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
The presentation layer (layer 6) is responsible for transforming data received from the application
layer into a format that any system following the OSI model can understand. It imposes common
or standardized structure and formatting rules onto the data. The Presentation layer is also
responsible for encryption and compression.” Pg. 79-80 Tittel: CISSP Study Guide.
