Number of Emails = 14,336 / 1.4
Number of Emails = 10,240

Therefore, Mary can download approximately 10,240 emails without exceeding her data limit.

(ii) SSL uses encryption algorithms to scramble data during transit. It provides a way for the user's browser to verify the identity of the server and ensures that the data transferred between the user and the server remains intact and has not been tampered with during transit. Data is decrypted before it can be used by the receiving system.

(iii) Two advantages of SSL are:

1. SSL provides a secure and encrypted connection, protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access and ensuring the confidentiality of data.
2. SSL provides the means for establishing the authenticity of the websites we are connecting to.

(iv) SSH (Secure SHell).
