Isaca CDPSE Exam - Topic 10 Question 55 Discussion

Actual exam question for Isaca's CDPSE exam

[All CDPSE Questions]

Which encryption method encrypts and decrypts data using two separate yet mathematically connected cryptographic keys?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Asymmetric encryption, also known as public-key encryption, encrypts and decrypts data using two separate yet mathematically connected cryptographic keys. One key is called the public key and can be shared with anyone, while the other key is called the private key and must be kept secret. The public key is used to encrypt the data, and only the corresponding private key can decrypt it. Likewise, the private key can be used to sign the data, and only the corresponding public key can verify it. This method provides confidentiality, integrity, authentication and non-repudiation for data.

I thought it was symmetric at first, but C makes sense!

Hashing doesn’t use keys at all, so it can’t be the answer. I’m leaning towards C as well.

I’m a bit confused; I thought private key was also about two keys, but maybe that’s not the right term here?

I remember studying about symmetric and asymmetric encryption, and I think asymmetric is the one with two keys.

I think the answer might be C, Asymmetric, because it uses two keys, right? But I'm not completely sure.

I'm not totally confident, but I think the answer is C. Asymmetric encryption uses two different keys, which seems to match the description in the question.

Okay, I've got this. Asymmetric encryption uses two separate keys - a public key for encrypting and a private key for decrypting. That's the method that fits the description in the question.

I'm pretty sure this is asking about asymmetric encryption, where you have a public and private key. Let me think this through...

I'm a bit unsure about the best approach. Didn't we discuss the importance of verifying message integrity in class? Maybe the Data Origin Authentication pattern would fit here?

Ah, the age-old battle between symmetric and asymmetric encryption. It's like choosing between a handshake and a fist bump – both get the job done, but one's just more fun.

I'm not sure, but isn't asymmetric encryption the one where you need a secret decoder ring to figure out the keys? Sounds like a spy movie to me!
