Implementing Cisco Network Security (IINS, legacy) — Question 87

Which two next-generation encryption algorithms does Cisco recommend? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. AES
• B. 3DES
• C. DES
• D. MD5
• E. DH-1024
• F. SHA-384

Correct answer: A, F

Explanation

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a widely adopted encryption algorithm known for its robustness and efficiency, making it a top recommendation for next-generation encryption. SHA-384 is a secure hash function recommended for data integrity, while 3DES, DES, MD5, and DH-1024 are considered less secure or outdated for modern encryption requirements.
