Select the correct statement(s)
Correct
Solution(a)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Correct Incorrect End-to-end encryption is a communication process that encrypts data being shared between two devices, preventing 3rd parties (cloud service providers, internet service providers (ISPs), and cybercriminals) from accessing data while it is being transferred. Its process uses an algorithm that transforms standard text into an unreadable format, which can only be unscrambled by those with the decryption keys. The technology does not protect metadata which includes information like when a file was created, the date when a message is sent and the endpoints between which data was shared. Context – Apple announced it will be increasing the number of data points protected by end-to-end encryption on iCloud from 14 to 23 categories.
