Hashing doesn't use keys, so it's not B.
NA

A is correct, no doubt about it!

Wait, are we sure about that? I thought symmetric was more common.
PA

Agreed, A is the right answer!
AL

It's definitely A, Asymmetric encryption uses both keys!
SH

Wait, is symmetric encryption just using one key? I think that rules out D, but I'm still a bit confused.

I feel like I've seen a similar question before, and it was definitely about asymmetric encryption.
CH

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember hashing doesn't use keys at all, so it can't be B.

I think the answer is A, Asymmetric, because it involves both a public and a private key.

Ah, I remember learning about this in class. Asymmetric cryptography, also known as public-key cryptography, is the way to go here. I've got this one.

Okay, let me think this through. Asymmetric encryption uses a public and private key, so that's got to be the answer. I'll mark that one down.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I'm pretty confident the answer is Asymmetric.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know public and private keys are used in asymmetric encryption, but I want to double-check the other options just to be sure.

Okay, I've got this. Policies provide guidance and direction to decision makers, so I'll select options B and C.

I think the key here is to focus on the reasons why the DNT header is not widely adopted. The options seem to be getting at different potential factors, so I'll need to carefully consider each one.

I'm gonna have to go with A) Asymmetric. It's the only one that makes sense with the whole public/private key thing. Although, I do like the sound of C) Numeric. Maybe it's a secret new algorithm the NSA is hiding from us!
JA
Jade

Definitely, A) Asymmetric is the cryptographic algorithm that uses public and private keys.
SH

I think C) Numeric sounds interesting, but A) Asymmetric is the right answer.
IZ
Izetta

Yeah, A) Asymmetric is the only one that fits the description.
AL
Alishia

I agree, A) Asymmetric is the correct choice for using public and private keys.
PH

Okay, let's think this through. Public and private keys... that's gotta be A) Asymmetric. Although, I did hear a rumor that C) Numeric is the new thing in crypto. Eh, I'll stick with A).
HA

B) Hashing? Nah, that's just for one-way transformations. This is all about encryption, baby. A) Asymmetric is the way to go!
NI
Nichelle

I think it's A) Asymmetric because it uses both public and private keys.
JE
Jettie

Hmm, I think it's D) Symmetric. Wait, no, that's the one with a single key. Gah, I always mix those up!
MO
Moira

Actually, it's A) Asymmetric. It uses both public and private keys.
MI
Miriam

No, I believe it's D) Symmetric.
AM
Ammie

I think it's A) Asymmetric.
CO
Cora

I think it's A) Asymmetric.
JO
Joaquin

Duh, it's obviously A) Asymmetric. I learned that in my crypto class! Public and private keys? Come on, it's not rocket science.
TA
Talia
