What does Wireless Transport Layer Security (WTLS) provide for wireless devices?
Each correct Answer represents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.
A.
Data integrity
B.
Encryption
C.
Bandwidth
D.
Authentication
Explanation:
Wireless Transport Layer Security (WTLS) is a security layer of WAP, which is specifically designed for
a wireless environment. It provides privacy, data integrity, and authentication for client-server
communications over a wireless network. WTLS ensures that a client and server are authenticated so
that wireless transactions remain secure and the connection is encrypted. WTLS is required because
a wireless network does not provide end-to-end security.
What is authentication?
Authentication is a process of verifying the identity of a person, network host, or system process.
The authentication process compares the provided credentials with the credentials stored in the
database of an authentication server. Answer option C is incorrect. WTLS cannot provide bandwidth
to wireless devices.
