Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

What cryptographic algorithm is used by the NSA and includes the use of elliptical curves for digital signature generation and key exchange?

A	AES
B	IDEA
C	RSA
D	ECC
E	El-Gamal

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) is a Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) which uses keys derived from elliptic curve cryptography (ECC).

Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation:Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) uses elliptic curves as part of the algorithm for digitalsignature generation and key exchange.

Detailed explanation-3: -The encryption algorithm (AES) The key exchange algorithm (Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman, also known as ECDH)

Detailed explanation-4: -Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is a key-based technique for encrypting data. ECC focuses on pairs of public and private keys for decryption and encryption of web traffic. ECC is frequently discussed in the context of the Rivest–Shamir–Adleman (RSA) cryptographic algorithm.

Detailed explanation-5: -ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) is based on DSA, but uses yet another mathematical approach to key generation. ECC is a mathematical equation taken on its own, but ECDSA is the algorithm that is applied to ECC to make it appropriate for security encryption.
