Public-key algorithms are based on __________ .
A)permutation
B)mathematical functions
C)substitution
D)symmetry

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Public-key algorithms are based on mathematical functions that are computationally feasible to perform in one direction (e.g., encryption) but infeasible to reverse without a specific piece of information (e.g., the private key), making them suitable for tasks like encryption and digital signatures.
