Answer / guest
Answer: C
Tunnel mode provides protection to the entire IP package. To
accomplish this, AH and ESP services can be nested. The
transport mode provides primary protection for the higher
layers of the protocols by extending protection to the data
fields (payload) of an IP package. The SSL (secure socket
layer) mode, provides security to the higher communication
layers (transport layer). The triple-DES encryption mode is
an algorithm that provides confidentiality.
