Why Is Data Encryption a Layer 6 Function?

Описание: Ever wondered why data encryption, a critical security measure, is specifically designated as a Layer 6 function within the OSI model? This video unpacks the fundamental reasons behind this architectural choice, explaining the Presentation Layer's vital role in secure communication.

In this video, you'll discover:
► The core responsibilities of the OSI Presentation Layer (Layer 6) and how it prepares data for application use.
► Why encryption and decryption are intrinsically linked to data format and representation, making Layer 6 the ideal place for these operations.
► The difference between network-level encryption (like VPNs) and application-level encryption handled at Layer 6.
► How Layer 6 encryption ensures data integrity and confidentiality before it reaches the end application.
