EC-Council 212-81 Exam - Topic 12 Question 6 Discussion

Posted by Cyril on Aug 03, 2022 at 07:09 AM

____________cryptography uses one key to encrypt a message and a different key to decrypt it.

Suggested Answer: B

Asymmetric

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography

Public-key cryptography, or asymmetric cryptography, is a cryptographic system that uses pairs of keys: public keys, which may be disseminated widely, and private keys, which are known only to the owner. The generation of such keys depends on cryptographic algorithms based on mathematical problems to produce one-way functions. Effective security only requires keeping the private key private; the public key can be openly distributed without compromising security.

Yup, asymmetric is the way to go for secure communication!

I thought symmetric used one key for both?

Wait, are we sure about that? Sounds a bit off.

Totally agree, it's all about the two keys.

That's definitely asymmetric cryptography!

I’m a bit confused; I thought Secure cryptography was a term used for both types. Is that even a real option here?

I practiced a question like this, and I believe it's definitely Asymmetric since it mentions two different keys.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like symmetric cryptography uses the same key for both encrypting and decrypting.

I think the answer might be B, Asymmetric, because I remember it involves two different keys.

Hmm, this is a tough one. I'm a bit confused by all the different cloud and integration details. I think I need to re-read the question carefully to make sure I understand the context before deciding on an answer.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. Aviatrix recommends a separate controller for each cloud provider, so the answer must be 4.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Placing the configuration values in the persistent disk or a Bigtable table doesn't sound like an out-of-the-box Compute Engine feature to me. I'm leaning towards the instance template options, but I'll need to think it through a bit more.
