Implementing Cisco Secure Mobility Solutions (SIMOS, legacy) — Question 29

Which algorithm is replaced by elliptic curve cryptography in Cisco NGE?

Answer options

• A. 3DES
• B. AES
• C. DES
• D. RSA

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is designed to replace RSA due to its ability to provide the same level of security with smaller key sizes, making it more efficient. 3DES, AES, and DES are symmetric encryption algorithms, while RSA is an asymmetric algorithm that ECC replaces. Therefore, RSA is the correct answer.
