Asymmetric & Symmetric Encryption
Q: In asymmetric encryption, which key encrypts data and which decrypts it?
A: Public key encrypts, private key decrypts
Q: When large volumes of data must be encrypted efficiently, what method is used?
A: Encrypt with symmetric keys, distribute keys using asymmetric encryption
, Q: What does a recipient use to decrypt a message sent using their public key?
A: Their private key
Q: Which two components are known before symmetric encryption? (Choose 2)
A: Cryptographic algorithm, Cryptographic key
Q: Which operation uses the same key for encryption and decryption?
A: Symmetric encryption
Q: Why is asymmetric encryption used to send symmetric keys?
A: It securely encrypts small data using a public/private key pair
