Implementing Secure Solutions with Virtual Private Networks (SVPN) — Question 108

What are two differences between ECC and RSA? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Key generation in ECC is slower and more CPU intensive than RSA.
• B. ECC can have the same security as RSA but with a shorter key size.
• C. ECC cannot have the same security as RSA, even with an increased key size.
• D. Key generation in ECC is faster and less CPU intensive than RSA.
• E. ECC lags in performance when compared with RSA.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The correct answer is B and D. ECC offers equivalent security to RSA with shorter key lengths, making it more efficient. On the other hand, option A is incorrect as ECC is generally faster in key generation than RSA, and option C is incorrect because ECC can achieve similar security levels with appropriate key sizes.
