Which of the following is a cryptographic protocol that allows two parties to establish a shared key over an insecure channel?
Full set: 206 questionsDiffie-Hellman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffie%E2%80%93Hellman_key_exchange Diffie-Hellman key exchange is a method of securely exchanging cryptographic keys over a public channel and was one of the first public-key protocols as originally conceptualized by Ralph Merkle and named after Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman. DH is one of the earliest practical examples of public key exchange implemented within the field of cryptography. Incorrect answers: Elliptic Curve - Asymmetric Key Algorithm, provides encryption, digital signatures, key exchange, based on the idea of using points on a curve to define the public/private key, used in wireless devices and smart cards. The security of the Elliptic Curve cryptography is based on the fact that finding the discrete logarithm of a random elliptic curve element with respect to a publicly known base point is difficult to the point of being impractical to do so. (y2 = x3 + Ax + B) - Developed by Victor Miller and Neil Koblitz in 1985 MD5 - hash function - Created by Ronald Rivest. Replaced MD4. 128 bit output size, 512 bit block size, 32 bit word size, 64 rounds. Infamously compromised by Flame malware in 2012. Not collision resistant - Not Reversible - RFC 1321 RSA - is a public-key cryptosystem that is widely used for secure data transmission.
