Encrypting the whole channel, huh? Oliver must be one of those security freaks who thinks the government is listening in on his Tomcat server. I'll go with Option B, it's the right balance of security and efficiency.

Haha, poor Oliver. He's probably been watching too many spy movies and thinks he needs to encrypt the entire matrix or something. I'll go with Option B, it's the most practical choice.

Option D is tempting, but who cares about encrypting session cookies these days? Everyone knows those are worthless anyway. I'll go with Option C, it's the most elegant solution.

I think Option B is the correct answer. He's only encrypting the response parameters, which makes sense for sensitive data. You don't need to encrypt the whole channel if you don't have to.

I think Oliver is trying to achieve option C because it's more secure to encrypt request parameter data.

Looks like Oliver is trying to secure the entire communication channel between the client and server. Not a bad idea, but a bit overkill for just transferring some data.
