What is the definition of symmetric encryption?

• A basic type of encryption that is not very robust

• Encryption that uses the same key for encrypting and decrypting

• Encryption that uses the same algorithm for encrypting and decrypting

• An advanced form of encryption that makes use of multiple keys.

Match the following

• Produced by putting the plain text through a hash algorithm

• Digest

• Used for encrypting plain text

• Private Key

• Used for decrypting cipher text

• Public Key

• certificate authority
• SSL/TLS
• handshake
• introduction
• the IP address

Reorder the following statements to describe the basic asymmetric encryption process

• The sender encrypts the plain text into cipher text, and sends it to the recipient

• The recipient sends the public key to the sender

• The recipient decrypts the cipher text with their private key

• The sender contacts the recipient to begin an an encrypted communication session

• The recipient generates the private and public keys
