How Does Data Travel?

Question 1 • Skelton - GSN - Computer Science Principles - EG

Aanchal is a doctor who needs to send and receive lots of private data between her office and the hospital. She wants to keep the data as secure as possible. Which type of switching should she use?

Answer
A
router switching
B
message switching
C
circuit switching
D
packet switching

Explanation

Circuit switching creates a dedicated communication path between the office and the hospital for the duration of the connection. This private path is generally more secure than message or packet switching, where data may be routed through shared networks. Therefore, circuit switching is the best choice for keeping the data secure.
