312-50v12 Exam - Question 41


John wants to send Marie an email that includes sensitive information, and he does not trust the network that he is connected to. Marie gives him the idea of using PGP. What should John do to communicate correctly using this type of encryption?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

To send an encrypted email using PGP (Pretty Good Privacy), John should use Marie's public key to encrypt the message. Public-key cryptography allows anyone to encrypt a message using the recipient's public key, but only the recipient can decrypt it using their private key. This ensures that only Marie can read the sensitive information John is sending.
