Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following ciphers uses asymmetric encryption?
A
AES
B
Caesar Cipher
C
DES
D
RSA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Examples of such asymmetric encryption schemes are: RSA-OAEP, RSA-KEM and ECIES-KEM.

Detailed explanation-2: -RSA is named for the MIT scientists (Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman) who first described it in 1977. It is an asymmetric algorithm that uses a publicly known key for encryption, but requires a different key, known only to the intended recipient, for decryption.

Detailed explanation-3: -This algorithm is a block cipher with a variable-length key, whose block size is equal to the key size. RSA is patented in the United States by RSA Data Security.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asymmetric Encryption Uses A good example is email encryption. With asymmetric encryption, anyone can use your public key to send you an encrypted email that you only can decipher using your private key. Naturally, asymmetric is a more advanced encryption standard and thus is slower and resource-consuming.
