DES is outdated, RSA is definitely the right choice here.

I feel like I’ve seen practice questions where AES was mentioned for encryption, but for digital signatures, I think it’s definitely RSA.

SHA1 is more about hashing, right? I don’t think it’s used for encryption or signatures.

I remember studying that DES and AES are symmetric encryption methods, while RSA is asymmetric. So, I’d go with RSA.

I'm a little confused on the difference between encryption and hashing algorithms. I'll have to review those concepts before answering this question.

Okay, let me think this through. DES is an older encryption method, so that's probably not the right answer. SHA1 is a hashing algorithm, not an encryption one. I'll go with RSA.

I feel pretty confident that the best approach here is to discuss the changes with the stakeholders and give the program sponsor the best option. That way, we can try to minimize the impact on the program while still addressing the sponsor's requirements.
