D)RSN

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The specification of a protocol along with the chosen key length is known as a cipher suite. A cipher suite specifies the combination of cryptographic algorithms (such as encryption algorithm, hash function, key exchange algorithm) and the key length used in a protocol to provide security services. A cipher suite ensures that the communication between two parties is secure and private. Therefore, the best choice is C, cipher suite. The other options (A, B, D) are not correct in this context.
