Sample Questions

Question 1

Which IPsec protocol provides confidentiality by encrypting the packet payload?

A. AH (Authentication Header) protocol 51
B. ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload)
C. IKE (Internet Key Exchange) negotiation
D. GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) header

✓ Correct Answer: B

ESP provides confidentiality through payload encryption, plus optional integrity and authentication. AH offers integrity and authentication but no encryption, so it cannot keep data confidential. IKE negotiates keys and establishes security associations rather than carrying user data. GRE is an encapsulation protocol with no native encryption at all.

Question 2

In IPsec tunnel mode, what part of the original packet is protected?

A. Just the outer Layer 2 Ethernet frame header
B. Just the TCP and UDP transport port numbers
C. The entire original IP packet and its header
D. Merely the inner application-layer payload data

✓ Correct Answer: C

Tunnel mode encapsulates the whole original IP packet inside a new IP packet, protecting the original header and payload. Transport mode, by contrast, protects only the payload and leaves the original IP header exposed. Layer 2 frame headers are not part of the IPsec protection scope. Port numbers alone are not the unit IPsec secures.
