Maureen is implementing TLS encryption to protect transactions run against her company’s web services infrastructure. Which one of the following cipher suites would not be an appropriate choice?

 

A. AES256-CCM
B. ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384
C. ADH-RC4-MD5
D. DH-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384

 

Correct Answer: C

 

The key to this question is focusing on the encryption algorithms used by each option. Three of the four options use AES 256-bit encryption, which provides strong cryptography. One uses RC4 encryption, which is a weak implementation of cryptography and should be avoided.
