Yup, Asymmetric for the handshake and Symmetric for the session!

Secret encryption? That's not a thing, right?

Wait, does SSL really use both types? Sounds complicated.

SSL uses Asymmetric and Symmetric encryption.

I feel confident that SSL uses asymmetric for the initial handshake and then switches to symmetric for the session. So, I’d go with those two options.

I’m a bit confused about the difference between synchronous and symmetric encryption. I hope I can remember which one is correct during the exam.

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to identify encryption types used in SSL. I think asymmetric is definitely one of the answers.

I think SSL uses both asymmetric and symmetric encryption, but I'm not entirely sure about the specifics.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know the data is stored in a nested structure, but I'm not totally sure of the exact sequence. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm a bit confused by the different logging categories mentioned. I'll need to make sure I understand how they're being used in this scenario.

Ah, I see now. The "$or" operator is checking two separate conditions - one for "a" being in the set [3, 10], and one for "b" being less than 2. I'll make sure to select all the documents that meet at least one of those conditions.
