Multiple Choice

Why is asymmetric encryption considered a solution to the key sharing problem in cybersecurity?

• Because it uses two keys, making sharing safer

• Because it is faster than symmetric encryption

• Because it does not require any keys

• Because it is easier to implement

Open Ended

• AES

Open Ended

Explain how asymmetric encryption works and why it is considered secure for exchanging information over the internet.

Open Ended

Describe a real-world scenario where asymmetric encryption is used to secure communication, based on the example provided.

Multiple Choice

What is the main difference between public key and private key in asymmetric encryption?

• Public key is used for encryption, private key is used for decryption.

• Public key is kept secret, private key is shared.

• Both keys are used for encryption only.

• Both keys are used for decryption only.

Multiple Select

Reflecting on what you learned about asymmetric encryption, how do you think it improves the process of key sharing compared to symmetric encryption?

Multiple Choice

What is the major weakness of symmetric key encryption when it comes to sharing secret keys?

• It is difficult to find an effective and safe way to share a secret key.

• Symmetric key encryption is slower than asymmetric encryption.

• Symmetric key encryption requires more computational power.

• Symmetric key encryption cannot be used for secure communication.
