WHAT IS COMPUTER SECURITY

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the best way to protect intercepted transmissions being read by a third party?
A
Encryption
B
Digital Signatures
C
Hiding the message
D
Only sending a single word at a time
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -However, use of secure communication methods such as Transport Layer Security (TLS) or a Virtual Private Network (VPN) will provide assurance that the content of the communication cannot be understood if intercepted provided the method is implemented correctly.

Detailed explanation-2: -Data in transit protection should be achieved through a combination of: encryption – denying your attacker the ability to read or modify data. network protection – denying your attacker the ability to intercept data. authentication – denying your attacker the ability to impersonate the service.

Detailed explanation-3: -Data encryption translates data into another form, or code, so that only people with access to a secret key (formally called a decryption key) or password can read it. Encrypted data is commonly referred to as ciphertext, while unencrypted data is called plaintext.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a protocol that can be used with other protocols like UDP to provide security between applications communicating over an IP network. TLS uses encryption to ensure privacy, so that other parties can’t eavesdrop or tamper with the messages being sent.
