all start with a so called “handshake” which establish an SSL connection between a client and server. Once the connection is recognized, both parties can use the approved algorithm and keys to securely conduct messages to each other. The handshake has 3 main phases. They are called Hello, Certificate Exchange and Key Exchange. Hellos consist of all the data the server needs in order to join to the client via SSL, containing the numerous code groups and maximum SSL version that it supports. The server

implement public key encryption on a large scale, such as a secure Web server might need, requires a different approach. This is where digital certificates come in. A digital certificate is essentially a bit of information that says the Web server is trusted by an independent source known as a Certificate Authority. The Certificate Authority acts as the middleman that both computers trust. It confirms that each computer is in fact who they say they are and then provides the public keys of each computer

Answer a) The MPS is a very large organisation which employs over 50,000 people. A dedicated “solution” is needed for- • Keeping the records of the employees. • Limited access to data from the database. • Automatic upgradation as promotions and demotions of employees takes place. • A single, unique and effectively managed identity repository to help reduce cost and save time. RBA approaches are accepted as strong and efficient technologies for access control. Answer b) If MPS is to strengthen
