Which of the following is an asymmetric encryption algorithm?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) is a widely accepted asymmetric encryption algorithm. Unlike symmetric algorithms, which use the same key for both encryption and decryption, asymmetric algorithms use a pair of keys -- a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption. This method allows for secure key exchange over an insecure channel without the need to share the private key. RSA operates on the principle that it is easy to multiply large prime numbers together to create a product, but it is hard to reverse the process, i.e., to factorize the product back into the original primes. This one-way function underpins the security of RSA.

I thought AES was asymmetric for a second, but I guess not!

I think asymmetric encryption is where you use a public and private key, so I’m leaning towards RSA.

I'm a bit confused on the differences between symmetric and asymmetric encryption. I know RSA is a popular encryption algorithm, but I'm not sure if it's symmetric or asymmetric. I'll have to review my notes before answering this one.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. Symmetric encryption uses the same key for encryption and decryption, while asymmetric encryption uses a public and private key. RSA is an asymmetric algorithm, so I'll go with option D.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not sure if I should be making the SLO more strict or increasing the deployment velocity. Maybe I should talk to the product team and see if they're willing to prioritize reliability work over new features. That could be a good way to balance things out.

This is a no-brainer. If you don't pick RSA, you might as well be encrypting with a paper clip and a rubber band.
