A bank recently had their security compromised during an initial key exchange between devices using a symmetric cryptography algorithm, and as a result the key was revealed/leaked. Going forward, they want to ensure that key exchanges are performed using asymmetric cryptography algorithms. Which algorithm offers the desired functionality?

True, but RSA is more established for asymmetric encryption. It’s reliable.

I agree, but Diffie-Hellman is also a solid option for key exchange.

I think RSA is the best choice here. It’s widely used for secure key exchanges.

Wait, can RSA really handle this? Sounds risky.

AES is symmetric, so it won't work here.

I thought Diffie-Hellman was the go-to for this?

Definitely RSA for secure key exchange!

I recall that RSA is often used for encrypting keys, but I wonder if it directly applies to the key exchange scenario mentioned in the question.

AES is definitely symmetric, so it can't be the answer. I feel like I might confuse RSA and Diffie-Hellman under pressure.

I think Diffie-Hellman is specifically designed for key exchange, so it might be the right answer. I practiced a similar question on that.

I remember studying that asymmetric algorithms like RSA are used for secure key exchanges, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the best choice here.
