Public key and user key? That's not right, it's B for sure.

Agreed, that's the standard for asymmetric encryption.
DO

SSL is related, but not directly used in asymmetric encryption like B is.
AD

Wait, are you sure about that? I thought it was something else!
CH
Charlene

It's definitely B, public key and private key!
ER

I'm leaning towards option B too, but I just hope I don't confuse it with SSL, which is related but not the same.

I feel like I might be mixing up the terms; wasn't there something about user keys in another question?
KA
Kallie

I remember practicing a similar question, and I believe the answer is B, public key and private key.

I think asymmetric encryption uses a public key and a private key, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the exact terminology.
NI
Nikita

Wait, is SSL an asymmetric encryption method? I'm not totally sure about that. I better double-check my notes before answering this one.
HU

Okay, I've got this. Asymmetric encryption relies on a public and private key pair, so the correct answer is B. Public and private key.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know asymmetric encryption is different from symmetric, but I can't quite remember the specifics. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This one seems straightforward - asymmetric encryption uses public and private keys, so I'm going with option B.

Haha, NTFS for asymmetric encryption? That's like using a hammer to open a lock. Definitely gotta go with B) on this one.
JA

Haha, NTFS would be a funny choice for asymmetric encryption. B) Public key and private key is the correct option.
PR

Yeah, NTFS is definitely not the right choice for asymmetric encryption. B) Public key and private key is the correct answer.
PU

I agree with Yen, asymmetric encryption uses a public key and a private key for encryption and decryption.
CE
Cecil

Public key and private key, for sure. I remember learning about that in my crypto class. Pretty sure it's the only option that fits the question.
FE
Felix
