Answer: A
The SSL security protocol provides data encryption, server
authentication, message integrity and optional client
authentication. Because SSL is built into all major browsers
and web servers, simply installing a digital certificate
turns on the SSL capabilities. SSL encrypts the data while
it is being transmitted over the Internet. The encryption is
done in the background, without any interaction from the
user, consequently there's no password to remember either.
The other choices are incorrect. Since the communication
between client and server is encrypted, the confidentiality
of information is not affected by wire tapping. Since SSL
does the client authentication, only the intended recipient
will receive the decrypted data. All data sent over an
encrypted SSL connection is protected with a mechanism to
detect tampering, that is, automatically determining whether
data has been altered in transit.
