Presentation Layer

The presentation layer is responsible for translating, encrypting, and compressing data. It translates data between different formats, encrypts data to secure it during transmission, and manages data compression to reduce file size for efficient transfer.

 Translates data

 Responsible for encrypting data

 Manages data compression


 a sending computer receiving data from the
application layer will need to convert data
from the receiving format(eg ASCII) to a
format understood and accepted by other
layers of the OSI model to ensure smooth file
transfer
 the receiving computer is responsible for the
conversion of “the external format” with
which data is received from the sending
computer to one accepted by the other layers
in the host computer
 Data formats include postscript, ASCII, or
BINARY such as EBCDIC
 The process of transforming information
(plaintext) using an algorithm (called cipher)
to make it unreadable to anyone except those
possessing special knowledge, usually
referred to as a key.
 The result of the process is encrypted
information (referred to as ciphertext).
 The goal of data compression is to represent
an information source (a data file, an image)
as accurately as possible using the fewest
number of bits
 For example, 25.888888888
◦ This string can be compressed as:
◦ 25.[9]8
 Interpreted as, "twenty five point 9 eights",
the original string is perfectly recreated, just
written in a smaller form
 ASCII, American Standard Code for
Information Interchange

 EBCDIC, Extended Binary Coded Decimal


Interchange Code

 X.25 PAD, Packet Assembler/Disassembler
