Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
One commonly used public-key cryptography method is the ____ algorithm
A
RSS
B
RAS
C
RSA
D
RAA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: The Rivest-Sharmir-Adleman(RSA) algorithm is the cryptography system that is used for public key cryptography, which is commonly used when sending secure and sensitive data over an insecure network like the internet.

Detailed explanation-2: -The RSA algorithm is a public-key signature algorithm developed by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. Their paper was first published in 1977, and the algorithm uses logarithmic functions to keep the working complex enough to withstand brute force and streamlined enough to be fast post-deployment.

Detailed explanation-3: -The most commonly used implementations of public key cryptography (also known as public-key encryption and asymmetric encryption) are based on algorithms presented by Rivest-Shamir-Adelman (RSA) Data Security.

Detailed explanation-4: -The most commonly used public-key cryptosystem is RSA, which is named after its three developers Ron Rivest (b. 1947), Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman (b. 1945). At the time of the algorithm’s development (1977), the three were researchers at the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science.
