Answer: C
The only control that does not directly impact the
e-commerce transactions is the actual architecture of the
firewall and whether or not it hides the internal network.
All other options are key requirements for ensuring security
transactions in e-commerce. The use of encryption will have
an impact on the system performance as transactions go
through the encryption/decryption process. Timed
authentication requires that a response is received within a
specific amount of time, which will have an effect on system
performance. The exchange of traffic will have an effect on
system performance.
