_________ attacks have several approaches, all equivalent in effort to factoring the product of two primes.
A) Mathematical
B) Brute-force
C) Chosen ciphertext
D) Timing

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mathematical attacks are the best choice for breaking RSA encryption as they are more efficient than brute-force and other attacks. Factoring the product of two large prime numbers is the mathematical approach that is equivalent to breaking RSA encryption. Therefore, the best approach is to find efficient algorithms for factoring large numbers.
