Question: 38
(Choose 1 answer)
What is a difference between symmetric and asymmetric encryption algorithms?
A. Symmetric encryption algorithms are used to authenticate secure communications. Asymmetric encryption
algorithms are used to repudiate messages.
B. Symmetric encryption algorithms are used to encrypt data. Asymmetric encryption algorithms are used to
decrypt data.
C. Symmetric encryption algorithms use pre-shared keys. Asymmetric encryption algorithms use different
keys to encrypt and decrypt data.
D. Symmetric algorithms are typically hundreds to thousands of times slower than asymmetric algorithms.
