Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The asymmetric cryptography algorithm most commonly used is:
A
AES
B
RSA
C
Twofish
D
Blowfish
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The RSA algorithm is an asymmetric cryptography algorithm; this means that it uses a public key and a private key (i.e two different, mathematically linked keys). As their names suggest, a public key is shared publicly, while a private key is secret and must not be shared with anyone.

Detailed explanation-2: -RSA (Rivest Shamir Adleman)-RSA is considered one of the most secure (and commonly used) asymmetric key encryption algorithms. It’s virtually uncrackable using modern computers.

Detailed explanation-3: -RSA is a type of asymmetric encryption, which uses two different but linked keys. In RSA cryptography, both the public and the private keys can encrypt a message. The opposite key from the one used to encrypt a message is used to decrypt it.

Detailed explanation-4: -RSA algorithm is a public key encryption technique and is considered as the most secure way of encryption. It was invented by Rivest, Shamir and Adleman in year 1978 and hence name RSA algorithm.

Detailed explanation-5: -AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a symmetric key encryption algorithm that uses the same key to both encrypt and decrypt data. It is considered to be more secure than RSA encryption as it uses a longer key, making it harder for hackers to crack the code.
