Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is an example of a symmetrical algorithm?
A
RSA
B
DSA
C
ECC
D
3DES
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Some examples of symmetric encryption algorithms include: AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) DES (Data Encryption Standard) IDEA (International Data Encryption Algorithm)

Detailed explanation-2: -In cryptography, Triple DES (3DES or TDES), officially the Triple Data Encryption Algorithm (TDEA or Triple DEA), is a symmetric-key block cipher, which applies the DES cipher algorithm three times to each data block.

Detailed explanation-3: -3DES Encryption Algorithm 3DES (Triple DES) is a symmetric encryption algorithm that is used for encrypting and decrypting data. It is a block cipher algorithm that uses three 56-bit keys for encryption and decryption. 3DES is an older encryption algorithm and is not considered to be as secure as AES.

Detailed explanation-4: -3DES is an encryption algorithm widely used in the finance industry. It improves upon the earlier block cipher DES and brings various benefits, such as its ease of implementation in hardware and software and its widespread support among cryptographic libraries and protocols.

Detailed explanation-5: -The DES (Data Encryption Standard) algorithm is a symmetric-key block cipher created in the early 1970s by an IBM team and adopted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
