A systems administrator uses a key to encrypt a message being sent to a peer in a different branch office. The peer then uses the same key to decrypt the message. Which of the following describes this example?
A systems administrator uses a key to encrypt a message being sent to a peer in a different branch office. The peer then uses the same key to decrypt the message. Which of the following describes this example?
Symmetric encryption involves the use of the same key for both encrypting and decrypting a message. This means that the administrator and the peer share the same key to secure their communication, making it a symmetric encryption method.
The same key for both processes
Symmetric: Same key is used to encrypt as is used to decrypt.
symmetric
A. Symmetric
Symmetric Encryption In this type of encryption, there is only one key, and all parties involved use the same key to encrypt and decrypt information.
You stated your Selected Answer to be "C" - Hashing, but explained Symmetric encryption, I guess it's a typo
then why did you choose C when it should be A?
A. Symmetric same key to encrypt and decrypt
