A) can be used to encrypt data on a disk but not to encrypt data for transmission over telecommunications lines
B) executes faster than a public key encryption algorithm
C) is asymmetric
D) requires one key for encryption and another key for decryption
E) allows its encryption key to be openly published

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Private key encryption algorithms, also known as symmetric key algorithms, are generally faster than public key (asymmetric) encryption algorithms because they use the same key for both encryption and decryption, which is computationally less intensive.
