Which security mechanisms always operate independently of the transport layer?

Ans: Authorization

Explanation Given :

"Authorization operates completely within the container once authentication has occurred. Authentication can affect the transport layer based on how the <auth-method> element is set."

what does it mean "operate independently of the transport layer" ?

please explain how it is.

The transport layer for web apps means HTTP/HTTPS.
It means that all the authorization functionality works independently of the way you have accessed the application. In the context of web apps specifically, there's nothing HTTP/HTTPS-specific about authorization. That's different from authentication, where (e.g.) Basic authentication or client-cert authentication are wedded closely to HTTP.
It looks like it's time for me to write you a reality check! Or maybe a tiny ad!
