A. B. C. D.

B.

The security controls that are specifically designed to address communication and data security issues in the emerging Internet and intranet application space are known as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS). These controls are a set of layered security services that provide secure communication over the internet and intranet application spaces.

Answer A, Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is not the correct answer to this question as it is a protocol suite that is used to secure IP communication by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a communication session.

Answer B, Common Data Security Architecture (CDSA) is a framework for creating cryptographic security services and applications that is platform-independent and provides a standardized interface for access to security services.

Answer C, File encryptors, are a security control that encrypts files to ensure that only authorized users have access to them. They are not a set of layered security services that address communications and data security problems in the emerging Internet and intranet application space.

Answer D, Application Program Interface (API), is a set of protocols and tools used for building software applications. APIs are not a set of layered security services that address communications and data security problems in the emerging Internet and intranet application space.

Therefore, the correct answer to this question is A. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS).
