Layer 6: Presentation layer

   This layer provides independence from data representation (e.g., encryption) by translating between application and network formats. The presentation layer transforms data into the form that the application accepts. This layer formats and encrypts data to be sent across a network. It is sometimes called the syntax layer.
1.   Encryption – decryption.
   2.   Translation – de translation
   3.   Compression- de compression.
