The question is... 5. Which of the following are true about SSL? a. SSL facilitates secure communication b. SSL is a high level protocol and sits on top of HTTP c. SSL is a low level protocol and sits below HTTP d. SSL works only with HTTP The answer says it's... a,b I firmly believe that it should be: a,c. The following blurb from Introduction to SSL supports my answer. "The SSL protocol runs above TCP/IP and below higher-level protocols such as HTTP or IMAP" Regards, Byron
Byron, Technically answer should be only "a" SSL is not tied to HTTP but yes you are right about C "SSL is a transport layer protocol" and HTTP i.e., Application layer protocol is above it. If HTTP is to be there then question should be re-phrased "What is true about HTTPS ?" SPAD [ July 09, 2002: Message edited by: SPAD ]

Errors and points of disagreement are common on the mock exams. Never the less, they will improve your score when there's money on the line.

Rufus, I couln't agree more. We may learn the most when we're forced to challenge and question what we believe. I am greatful to everyone who provides these types of resources. I hope to add to it after I have completed the certification. Regards, Byron Estes
