When a client and server are exchanging messages during the mTLS handshake, what is being agreed on during the cipher suite exchange?

When a client and server are exchanging messages during the mTLS handshake, what is being agreed on during the cipher suite exchange?
A . A protocol
B . The TLS version
C . An encryption algorithm
D . The Public key format

Answer: C

Explanation:

A cipher suite is a set of cryptographic algorithms that are used to secure the communication between a client and a server. A cipher suite consists of four components: a key exchange algorithm, an authentication algorithm, an encryption algorithm, and a message authentication code (MAC) algorithm. During the cipher suite exchange, the client and the server agree on which encryption algorithm to use for encrypting and decrypting the data.
