the security of a message transmission on the Internet and operates at the
Application and Session layer.
Answer should be C. As per the exam point of view SSL operates at Transport layer.
According to Shon, It should be C
Admin,
According to the CISSP CBK it is C.
@all, thanks.
Fixed.
I agree that TRANSPORT Layer is the correct answer, but if the question asks for TWO Layers, Application is NOT the 2nd!
From Harris: “SSL is made up of two protocols—one works in the lower portion of the session layer and the other works in the transport layer. For purposes of the CISSP exam, SSL resides in the transport layer.”
Of course, Application/Transport Layers work just fine if we’re using the TCP/IP and NOT OSI Model.
It should be Session and Transport of the OSI Model.
or
Application and Host-to-host (transport) of the TCP/IP model.
Unfortunately based on the question, there is no correct answer here. (although “C” is probably the best choice).
I agree with the answer.
Ans is C SSL resides in Transport layer and works in Application layer Period.
Wow, this particular question called a deluge of answers.. Keep it up folk. CISSP is my birthday gift this year.
Pls, anyone done the exam recently? Did these questions here feature there?
This dumps is not valid based on some earlier comments. It is just a good set of practice questions for exam.
Answer is correct. It is mentioned by Kelly Handerhan in the Cybrary video.
