Really? I thought RSA was more popular for encryption.

Wait, isn't DES still used in some places?

It's definitely AES, the Advanced Encryption Standard.

Totally agree, AES is the go-to for encryption!

AES is NIST's current standard, no doubt about it!

I thought DES was outdated, so it must be AES, right? I hope I’m not confusing it with something else!

I have a vague memory of AES being the standard, but I keep mixing it up with PGP.

I remember studying RSA and DES, but I feel like AES was emphasized more in our practice questions.

I think AES is the one we're looking for, but I'm not completely sure if NIST has updated anything recently.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know DES used to be the standard, but I think that's been replaced by something newer. I'm going to guess B, AES, since that sounds like the most up-to-date option.

AES, definitely AES. I remember learning about that in my computer security class as the NIST-approved encryption algorithm.

Okay, let me think this through. NIST is the National Institute of Standards and Technology, so they would be responsible for setting encryption standards. Based on that, I'm going to go with B, AES.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know RSA and PGP are encryption algorithms, but I'm not certain which one is the NIST standard.

I'm pretty sure the answer is AES, since that's the current encryption standard used by the US government.

AES is the answer, no doubt. NIST made the right choice with that one.

AES all the way! It's faster and more secure than the old DES standard.

I always choose AES over DES for encryption. It's the current standard for a reason.
