Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 233

What are two functions of secret key cryptography? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. utilization of less memory
• B. utilization of large prime number iterations
• C. utilization of different keys for encryption and decryption
• D. key selection without integer factorization
• E. provides the capability to only know the key on one side

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The correct answers, A and D, highlight that secret key cryptography requires less memory and allows for key selection without relying on integer factorization. Options B and C are incorrect because secret key cryptography does not typically involve large prime number iterations or the use of different keys for encryption and decryption, which describes public key cryptography instead. Option E is misleading as secret key cryptography implies that both parties share the same key.
