Wow, you're all way off the mark. This is Diffie-Hellman we're talking about, not RSA. Bob and Alice are going to use a shared secret key, not individual public or private keys. The answer is C, the session key.

You guys are all wrong. Clearly, the answer is E, Bob's private key. I mean, he's the one sending the message, right? He's got to use his own private key to encrypt it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's not get too crazy here. Bob's not using his own keys at all in this scenario. He's using Alice's keys to encrypt the message. So it's gotta be option A, Alice's public key.

Hold up, you two. I think you're both missing something here. Doesn't DH use a session key to encrypt the message? I'm pretty sure the answer is C, the session key.

Nah, man, I think you're off the mark there. If Bob's sending an encrypted message to Alice, he's going to use Alice's public key. That's the whole point of public-key cryptography, right? Option A is the way to go.

Ah, the good old DH question! This one always gets me excited, like a kid in a candy store. Let's see, which key will Bob use... Hmm, I'm going to go with option D, Bob's public key. Gotta keep that private key safe, you know!
