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.

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.

ATM? Are we talking about withdrawing cash or securing data? I'll have to go with B, AES.

Hmm, AES seems like the obvious choice here. Can't go wrong with the government-approved encryption standard.

DES? Seriously? That's so last century. I'm going with D, RSA all the way!
