d)

Decryption means converting encrypted data back to its original form.

5.

During a cybersecurity class, Akmal asked his teacher to explain asymmetric encryption.

a)

Asymmetric encryption is a technique that does not involve any keys for data security.

b)

Asymmetric encryption is a cryptographic technique that uses a pair of keys (public and private) for secure data transmission.

c)
