Question

_______ is an example of asymmetric ciphers.

(a) Block cipher

(b) RSA encryption

(c) AES encryption

(d) Advanced cryptology

The question was posed to me in my homework.

This question is from Cryptography topic in chapter Number Theory and Cryptography of Discrete Mathematics

Answer 1

The correct option is (b) RSA encryption

The best I can explain: The asymmetric ciphers use asymmetric algorithms that use one key to encrypt data and a different key to decrypt ciphers. These algorithms are used in RSA encryption and public-key cryptography in which the public key is used to encrypt data and the private key is used to decrypt data.
