Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is the technology used in most Web-based applications. SSL version 2.0 supports strong authentication of the web server, but the authentication of the client side only comes with version 3.0. SSL v4 is not a defined standard.

I thought SSL v1 was the earliest version, but I can't recall if it had client-side authentication. It seems like a tricky question!

I remember studying SSL versions, and I feel like SSL v2 might have had some features for client authentication too, but it’s been a while.

This question looks tricky, but I think I can handle it. I just need to focus on calculating the net present value and then see how sensitive it is to a change in the disposal costs.

I'm leaning towards D, but I'm not completely confident. Users often have access issues for a variety of reasons, right?
