I thought S-HTTP was in the Transport Layer?

I keep mixing up the layers, but I think SET and S-HTTP are not in the Transport Layer. They have to be higher up, maybe the Application Layer?

I practiced a question about different protocols, and I feel like SET and S-HTTP were mentioned as part of the Application Layer.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about S-HTTP being similar to HTTPS, which operates at the Application Layer too.

I think both SET and S-HTTP are related to secure transactions, so they must be at the Application Layer, right?

This seems like a straightforward question about overhead absorption. I'll need to carefully consider the differences between actual, budgeted, and absorbed overhead to determine the correct answer.

Okay, I think I've got it. Let me just run the numbers through the formula real quick. This should be a straightforward calculation if I can just remember the right steps.

Option A sounds good to me. Hashing the queries and caching the results is a solid strategy. I'd probably want to add some logic to invalidate the cache when the underlying data changes, but overall this seems like the best way to reduce database load.
