Wait, is SHA-1 really not asymmetric? I thought it was!

Elfrieda 11 months ago

PSA is actually a public key algorithm, so it fits!

Carline 11 months ago

Definitely not 3DES, that's also symmetric!

Cristina 12 months ago

I thought AES was symmetric, right?

Charlesetta 12 months ago

Asymmetric key algorithms use a pair of keys.

Matilda 1 year ago

SHA-1 and MD5 are hashing algorithms, so they definitely aren't asymmetric key algorithms.

Caitlin 1 year ago

PSA sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it's actually an asymmetric algorithm or not.

Donte 1 year ago

I remember studying AES and 3DES as symmetric algorithms, so they can't be the answer.

Terina 1 year ago

I think asymmetric key algorithms are usually related to public and private keys, but I'm not sure which one fits here.

Mari 1 year ago

I think PSA might be a type of asymmetric algorithm, but I'm not 100% sure. I'll make a note to look that one up after the exam.

Jacki 1 year ago

Okay, I know asymmetric algorithms use different keys for encryption and decryption, unlike symmetric ones. So I'll rule out the hash functions like SHA-1 and MD5.

Arleen 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on the difference between symmetric and asymmetric algorithms. Let me think this through carefully.

Kindra 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure asymmetric key algorithms involve a public and private key, so I'll eliminate the symmetric algorithms like AES and 3DES.

Paola 1 year ago

This is a tricky one, but I'm going to go with option C for PSA since that seems like the best fit for an asymmetric key algorithm.

Olive 1 year ago

Okay, let's see. The runtime identity could be trying to access files that it doesn't have permission to, or it might not be handling an additional sign-in UI element properly. I'll need to consider both of those possibilities.

Shalon 1 year ago

I'm a bit confused by all the different options here. Is there a way to double-check the steps for activating a license on the M-100? I want to make sure I get this right.

Kimberlie 2 years ago

Oh, really? I need to double check my study materials then.

Marylin 2 years ago

I think Lizette is right, AES is indeed an example of an asymmetric key algorithm.

Kimberlie 2 years ago

But I read that PSA is an asymmetric key algorithm, that's why I chose it.

Lizette 3 years ago

No, I believe it's A) AES.

Kimberlie 3 years ago

I think the answer is C) PSA.
