Which component of the end-to-end communication path is responsible for making outgoing data unreadable and incoming data readable?

• A. The Crypto device
• B. The ADNS Router
• C. The Servers
• D. RF Equipment

Answer: (A)

End-to-end confidentiality is achieved when data is transformed into a form that only the intended recipient can revert to readable text. The component that does this cryptographic work is the crypto device. It encrypts outgoing data so anyone who intercepts it sees unreadable ciphertext, and it decrypts incoming ciphertext so the recipient can read it. Other parts of the path—like the router that forwards packets, servers that process information, or RF equipment that carries the signal—don’t automatically render data unreadable or readable across the whole path. They may handle routing, processing, or transmission, but the end-to-end readability hinges on the encryption and decryption performed by the crypto device.
