None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In symmetric key cryptography, both parties must possess a secret key which they must exchange prior to using any encryption. Distribution of secret keys has been problematic until recently, because it involved face-to-face meeting, use of a trusted courier, or sending the key through an existing encryption channel.
Detailed explanation-2: -Symmetric encryption requires that both the sender and receiver have the same key and each computes a common key that is subsequently used. Two of the most common symmetric encryption standards are known as Data Encryption Standard (DES) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
