D) XOR

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DSS (Digital Signature Standard) is a digital signature algorithm that is designed to provide only the digital signature function and cannot be used for encryption or key exchange. It is widely used in government and other regulated industries for its compliance with Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS). ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) and RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) are both public-key cryptography algorithms that can be used for encryption, decryption, digital signature, and key exchange. XOR is a bitwise logical operator, not a cryptographic algorithm.
