The basic security in ____ comes from the fact it is relatively easy to multiply two huge prime numbers together to obtain their product, but it is computationally difficult to go the reverse direction.
A) ElGamal
B) DES
C) IDEA
D) RSA

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement describes the fundamental principle of RSA encryption, where large prime numbers are used for key generation and their product for encryption. The difficulty in factoring the product back to its primes provides the security in the scheme. ElGamal, DES, and IDEA use different encryption methods and are not relevant to the given principle.
