Which three ESP fields can be encrypted during transmission? (Choose three)

The correct answer is D. Padding E. Pad Length F. Next Header. The remaining four parts of the ESP are all encrypted during transmission across the network. Those parts are as follows: The Payload Data is the actual data that is carried by the packet. The Padding, from 0 to 255 bytes of data, allows certain types of encryption algorithms…

Explanation

The remaining four parts of the ESP are all encrypted during transmission across the network. Those parts are as follows: The Payload Data is the actual data that is carried by the packet. The Padding, from 0 to 255 bytes of data, allows certain types of encryption algorithms to require the data to be a multiple of a certain number of bytes. The padding also ensures that the text of a message terminates ona four-byte boundary (an architectural requirement within The Pad Length field specifies how much of the payload is padding rather than data. The Next Header field, like a standard IP Next Header field, identifies the type of data carried and the protocol. 0/ip_security/provisioning/guide/IPsecPG1.html
