Asymmetric Key Encryption 1

Which of the following is a requirement of asymmetric key encryption?

• The private key must be easy to guess.

• It must be impossible to guess the private key.

• Only the public key can be used for encryption.

• The plaintext must be easily recoverable.

Who are the creators of the RSA asymmetric key encryption algorithm?

• Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman

• Alan Turing, Claude Shannon, and Whitfield Diffie

• Martin Hellman, Ralph Merkle, and Phil Zimmermann

• Tim Berners-Lee, Vint Cerf, and Bob Kahn

What is the formula used to calculate n in the RSA key generation process?

• n = p + q

• n = p × q

• n = p - q

• n = p / q

Which of the following is a major advantage of asymmetric key encryption?

• No transmitting of private key required.

• It is faster than symmetric key encryption.

• It always provides higher security than symmetric key encryption.

• It does not require any keys at all.

Which statement about the security of asymmetric key encryption is correct?

• It is not necessarily more secure than symmetric key encryption.

• It is always more secure than symmetric key encryption.

• It is never used for secure communications.

• It does not require any keys for encryption.
