Question 15

ECC

Answer 15

Asymmetric
Elliptic Curve Cryptography

Based on the math used to represent elliptical curves and is more CPU-efficient than RSA—smaller keys, but same security as RSA
◦
Often seen in use with embedded devices

Question 16

Symmetric ciphers

tens to named after “objects”

Answer 16

Encrypt the datawith low latency
•
Do not handle key exchange
•
Are fast
•
AES, Blowfish, DES, 3DES

tends to be names after Humans

Answer 17

•
Protect the key exchange
•
Easy key management
•
Are slow
•
RSA, ECC, DH

tend to have “hash” or “digest” in their names

Answer 18

•
Handle integrity checking
•
Are one-way
•
Create a message digest
•
MD series, SHA
