Just a reminder, RC4 is considered insecure now.

Wait, RSA is asymmetric? I thought it was symmetric!

I feel like I’ve seen RSA mentioned as an asymmetric algorithm in my notes, so I think that’s the answer here.

I’m a bit confused. I know AES and DES are symmetric, but I can't recall if RC4 is also considered symmetric or not.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think RSA is the one that uses a different key for encryption and decryption.

I think RC4, AES, and DES are all symmetric key algorithms, but I'm not completely sure about RSA.

Wait, I'm getting a bit confused here. Aren't AES and DES both symmetric key algorithms? I better double-check my notes to make sure I'm remembering this correctly.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know the differences between symmetric and asymmetric encryption, but I'll need to think through the specific algorithms to determine which one is not symmetric.

This looks like a straightforward question on symmetric key encryption algorithms. I'm pretty confident I can figure this out.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. RC4, AES, and DES are all symmetric key algorithms, so the one that's not symmetric must be RSA. I'm going to go with D.

I'm a bit confused. Wouldn't using HTTP instead of HTTPS be a security risk? I'm not sure that's the right approach here.

Okay, I've got this. The 'featurization' parameter is the one we want to use to handle missing values and categorical features. 'auto' is the right value to automatically handle those data issues.

Hey, at least they didn't ask about the 'Tiny Encryption Algorithm'! That would be a real head-scratcher.
