Which OSI Model layer performs tasks related to data presentation including encryption strategies?

Network Layer
Transport Layer
Application Layer
Presentation Layer

The correct answer is: Presentation Layer

The Presentation Layer is responsible for tasks related to how data is presented to the user and ensures that data is in a usable format. This layer handles the syntax and semantics of the information transmitted, which includes converting character sets, data compression, and importantly, encryption strategies to secure data during transmission. By performing these tasks, the Presentation Layer acts as a translator between the application layer and the data being transmitted, ensuring that the receiving end can interpret the data correctly. In contrast, the other layers of the OSI model serve different functions: the Application Layer interacts directly with end-user applications but does not involve formatting data for transmission; the Transport Layer is focused primarily on end-to-end communication and reliability of data transfer; and the Network Layer manages routing and forwarding of packets across the network. Each layer has its specific role, and the Presentation Layer's focus on data format and encryption separates it from the responsibilities of the others.
