Zorluk: ZorChallenges, Security, and Crime in Electronic Business

An online retail firm in Nigeria experiences an incident where sensitive customer credit card details are intercepted and read by unauthorized third parties while being transmitted from customer web browsers to the firm's payment server. Which security mechanism is specifically designed to protect data confidentiality during transmission across public networks?

  1. Data encryption using SSL/TLS protocolsCevap
  2. B
    Packet-filtering network firewalls
  3. C
    Automated Teller Machine PIN dispensing controls
  4. D
    Business-to-Business electronic data interchange routing

Cevap

Data encryption using SSL/TLS protocols is the primary security mechanism designed to protect data confidentiality in transit across public networks.
Data encryption using SSL/TLS protocols secures online transactions by encoding data sent over the internet so that only the authorized recipient possessing the matching decryption key can decode and read it.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the security breach context presented in the stem.
The core issue is eavesdropping/interception of unencrypted payment data while traveling over public Internet pathways.
Identifying the nature of the threat (data in transit interception) determines the required security countermeasure.
2
Distinguish between network access control and data confidentiality controls.
Access control (firewalls) restricts network entry, whereas cryptographic protocols (encryption/SSL/TLS) secure the data payload itself.
Preventing eavesdroppers from reading intercepted traffic requires converting readable text into scrambled ciphertext.
3
Select the option that specifically provides transport layer confidentiality for e-commerce transactions.
SSL/TLS data encryption guarantees that intercepted information remains completely unintelligible to attackers.
Only cryptographic encryption directly addresses packet content interception.
