Nope, it's not DES or 3DES either.

Wait, is it really A? I had no idea!

I thought it was AES, but I guess not.

I thought S/MIME was related to the Digital Encryption Standard, but now I'm second-guessing myself.

I feel like I saw a practice question about S/MIME and RSA before, so I might lean towards option A.
PH

I remember studying about encryption algorithms, but I can't recall if S/MIME specifically uses AES or something else.

Kati 1 year ago
I think S/MIME uses RSA for digital signatures, but I'm not sure if that's the same as option A.

I'm a little confused by the different blacklist and whitelist options. I'll need to review the policy details to make sure I select the right approach.
LA

I'm a bit unsure about the differences between the Milestone and Entitlement Process options. I'll need to re-read the question carefully and maybe even look up some documentation to make sure I fully understand the implications of each choice.

I think it could also relate to preventing XPath injection, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the main focus.
RE
Reita 1 year ago
I'm not sure, but I think it might be C) Triple Data Encryption Standard because it's also commonly used for encryption.

If S/MIME uses RSA for digital signatures, I wonder if they use it for encryption too. Hmm, I should probably just stick to A).
