Implementing Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption on an online merchant platform guarantees non-repudiation, preventing a customer from later claiming that a completed transaction was executed without their authorization.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: False

Cevap

The statement is False. Transport Layer Security (TLS) protects data privacy and integrity during transmission, but it does not establish non-repudiation for user transactions.
The statement is false because TLS (Transport Layer Security) is a transport-layer protocol that ensures data confidentiality and server authenticity during network transmission. It does not produce digital signatures or proof of user intent required to guarantee non-repudiation in e-commerce.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the primary operational scope of Transport Layer Security (TLS)
TLS provides session encryption (confidentiality) and data integrity over network channels, as well as server authentication.
Establishing the technical boundary of transport-layer protocols clarifies what safeguards they provide.
2
Define the requirement for non-repudiation in electronic commerce
Non-repudiation ensures that a transacting party cannot refute the validity of a contract or transaction consent.
Defining non-repudiation identifies the specific cryptographic controls needed, such as asymmetric digital signatures.
3
Evaluate whether TLS mechanisms fulfill non-repudiation criteria
Because standard TLS encrypts the link between nodes rather than creating user-bound digital signatures, it cannot prevent customer transaction denial.
Differentiating transport security from user intent verification resolves the truth value of the statement.

In modern office automation systems, asynchronous collaboration software requires all remote participants to be online simultaneously to communicate and process shared business tasks.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: False

Cevap

The statement is False. Asynchronous collaboration tools allow individuals to communicate and complete workflows independently at different times, whereas synchronous tools require simultaneous real-time participation.
The statement is false because asynchronous collaboration technologies are specifically designed to enable non-simultaneous interaction, allowing workers to contribute to shared digital workflows regardless of time zones or real-time availability.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Define asynchronous collaboration in virtual business operations.
Asynchronous communication tools (e.g., email, message boards, shared document commenting systems) permit participants to view, edit, and respond to business tasks at their convenience rather than in real time.
Categorizing digital collaboration tools by time dependence is essential for understanding remote office workflows.
2
Compare asynchronous requirements with the claim in the stem.
The stem claims that simultaneous online presence is required, which describes synchronous tools (e.g., live video conferencing, telepresence) rather than asynchronous tools.
Identifying the mismatch between the term 'asynchronous' and the definition of real-time interaction determines that the statement is false.
