A certificate is a digital document that verifies the two parties exchanging data over the Internet are really who they claim to be.

Answer: H 
 PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) is the system of digital certificates, authorities, and other registration and certificate management services that verify and authenticate the validity of each party involved in an Internet transaction.

Answer: I 
 A key is a value that is applied to data encryption and decryption algorithms to enable secure data transmission.

Answer: E 
 A hashing algorithm is a mathematical function that transforms a data message into a fixed-length output string. It is used to ensure data integrity, authenticate identity, and secure passwords.

Answer: J 
 A salt is a random value that is added to a password before it is hashed to defend against dictionary attacks and the lookup of precomputed hashes.

The other choices may still be relevant in the field of encryption and security, but the above five are the best matches for the given statements.
