DES is outdated, RSA is definitely the right choice here.

I thought SHA1 was just for hashing, not encryption.

Yuki 11 months ago

Wait, isn't AES also used for encryption?

Kara 12 months ago

Totally agree, RSA is the standard!

Cecilia 12 months ago

RSA is the one for email encryption and digital signatures.

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

Ira 1 year ago

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

Cristen 1 year ago

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

Nada 1 year ago

I think RSA is the one used for encrypting emails and creating digital signatures, but I’m not completely sure.

Helene 1 year ago

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.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure on this one. I know AES is a common encryption algorithm, but I'm not sure if it's specifically used for email and signatures.

Anabel 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure the answer is RSA, since it's a widely used encryption algorithm for email and digital signatures.

Lavonne 1 year ago

I feel pretty confident about this. The task description is clear, and I've got a good handle on how to approach activity diagram questions.

Charlena 1 year ago

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.

Latrice 1 year ago

I'm a bit unsure, but I feel like using Wireshark might help. It seems like the right tool for analyzing the traffic.

Rozella 1 year ago

Okay, I think I've got this. Based on the information provided, the risk level should be Extreme.

Annice 2 years ago

AES is a symmetric encryption algorithm, while RSA is asymmetric. So, I think the answer is D) RSA.

Carlee 2 years ago

I'm not sure, but I think C) AES can also be used for encryption.

Lilli 2 years ago

I agree with Kallie, RSA is used for encryption and digital signatures.

Kallie 3 years ago

I think the answer is D) RSA.
