• D

Explanation

SSL (D) is the correct answer because it is specifically engineered to establish secure, encrypted communication between clients and servers over the Internet, providing both confidentiality (preventing eavesdropping) and data integrity (preventing tampering) - the exact requirements described in the scenario.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. WEP is a wireless encryption protocol for Wi-Fi networks, not for client-server Internet traffic - and it is also considered cryptographically broken.
• B. IPsec secures communication at the IP (network) layer and is typically used for securing network-to-network tunnels, not directly for client-server application connectivity.
• C. VPN creates an encrypted tunnel but is designed to connect entire networks or remote users to a private network - it doesn't directly address the client-server application security model described.

Memory tip: Think of SSL as the technology behind the padlock icon in your browser - it's always there when a client (browser) securely talks to a server. If the question mentions client ↔ server + Internet + no eavesdropping, think SSL/TLS.
