Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer (PCNSE) — Question 448

Which two key exchange algorithms consume the most resources when decrypting SSL traffic? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. ECDSA
• B. ECDHE
• C. RSA
• D. DHE

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

ECDHE and DHE are both considered resource-intensive when it comes to decrypting SSL traffic due to their reliance on complex mathematical operations for secure key exchange. In contrast, ECDSA and RSA are generally less demanding in resource consumption during the decryption process.
