X.509 certificates

Target entity: X.509 certificates
Context triple: [TLS, usesMechanism, X.509 certificates]

• A. RFC 5246
  RFC 5246 is the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard that specifies Transport Layer Security (TLS) version 1.2, a widely used protocol for securing communications over computer networks.
• B. RSA
  RSA is a widely used public-key cryptographic algorithm that enables secure key exchange and digital signatures in many internet security protocols.
• C. TLS
  TLS (Transport Layer Security) is a cryptographic protocol that secures data transmitted over networks by providing encryption, authentication, and integrity between communicating applications.
• D. Diffie–Hellman key exchange
  Diffie–Hellman key exchange is a foundational cryptographic protocol that enables two parties to securely establish a shared secret over an insecure communication channel.
• E. Wi‑Fi Protected Access
  Wi‑Fi Protected Access is a family of security protocols designed to protect wireless computer networks by providing stronger data encryption and user authentication than earlier Wi‑Fi standards.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

Target entity: X.509 certificates
Target entity description: X.509 certificates are digital documents that bind a public key to an entity’s identity using a trusted certificate authority, forming the basis of public key infrastructure for secure communications.
