Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 226

Which algorithm provides asymmetric encryption?

Answer options

• A. 3DES
• B. RC4
• C. AES
• D. RSA

Correct answer: D

Explanation

RSA is the correct answer because it is specifically designed for asymmetric encryption, utilizing a pair of keys (public and private) for secure communication. In contrast, 3DES, RC4, and AES are symmetric encryption algorithms, which use a single key for both encryption and decryption.
