Which protocol, as a part of TLS, handles the actual secure communications and transmission of data?

A.
Negotiation
B. Handshake
C. Transfer
D. Record

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

Explanation: The TLS record protocol is the actual secure communications method for transmitting data; it’s responsible for encrypting and authenticating packets throughout their transmission between the parties, and in some cases it also performs compression. The TLS handshake protocol is what negotiates and establishes the TLS connection between two parties and enables the secure communications channel to then handle data transmissions. Negotiation and transfer are not protocols under TLS.
