* Role of a Trusted Third Party:
* Trusted third parties, like Certificate Authorities (CAs), validate the correlation between users and public keys.
* They ensure secure communication by providing authentication (verifying user identity) and authorization (granting access rights).
* Advantages in Disaster Recovery Planning:
* Simplifies secure communication during recovery processes.
* Provides a trusted mechanism for verifying identities and preventing unauthorized access.
* Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
* Option A (Monitors enclosures): Not related to public key verification.
* Option B (Protects against encrypted attacks): While encryption enhances security, it is not the purpose of a trusted third party.
* Option D (Features full-time monitoring): Not a function of trusted third parties like CAs.
