Answer: Please see below as the answer is self-explanatory

Explanation:

For the TCP/IP protocol suite, the IP protocol is the Network (or Internet) layer (Layer 3 in the OSI model), and TCP is one of the possible options for the Transport Layer, (Layer 4 in the OSI model).

Now, how the transport layer is aware that the transport protocol to be used is TCP?

When the network layer receives a packet, reads the IP Header, processes it, and then, after stripping it from the packet, sends it to the immediate upper layer.

In the IP header, there is a field, that tells the network layer, which is the protocol that will take care of the packet payload once processed by the network layer.

This field, has different names in IPv4 and IPv6; It is called PROTOCOL in IPv4, and NEXT HEADER in IPv6.

It has a length of 8 bits, and the binary value included in it, identifies uniquely the type of upper-layer protocol to be used, being the same for the same protocol in both versions of IP protocol.

For TCP, it is 6 in binary: 00000110.

Describe how asymmetric encryption is used to send a message from User A to User B that assures data confidentiality, authentica

daser333 [38]

Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

Asymmetric encryption is a system of communication in technology between two parties where keys which are variable values coined by an algorithm are used to encrypt and decrypt the messages between the sender and receiver. The two types of keys used in this process are the public and private keys. The public keys can be used by anyone to encrypt messages which are then sent to the receiver who decrypts the message using his private keys. The private keys on the other hand are only shared by the person who first set up the key. In sending messages this way, the receiver's public key is gotten from a public directory, and the message encrypted by the sender. The receiver can then decrypt the message using his private keys. But if the message is encrypted using a private key, it is decrypted by the receiver with a public key.

The one-way nature of this style of communication ensures data integrity and confidentiality since users are not required to disclose their keys and only the two parties can access the message. The two end users also preserve the right to authenticate the keys. The transport layer security protocol makes use of asymmetric encryption.
