Answer / guest
Answer: B
Tunnel mode provides encryption and authentication of the
complete IP package. To accomplish this, the AH
(authentication header) and ESP (encapsulating security
payload) services can be nested. The transport mode provides
primary protection for the protocols? higher layers, this
is, protection extends to the data field (payload) of an IP
package. The other two mechanisms provide authentication and
integrity.
