Computer Science · Web Security
A university sets up a central server to host its official website. To protect the website from common attacks, the server uses a security protocol (such as HTTPS) that encrypts the connection and provides authentication. A primary benefit of this security protocol for the end-user is that it:
- 1Compresses the website data prior to transmission.
- 2Blocks all advertisements on the target website.
- 3Prevents phishing by verifying the server's legitimate identity.✓
- 4Increases the local internet connection speed.
Correct answer
Prevents phishing by verifying the server's legitimate identity.
