CPEH-001 · Question #793

What is one of the advantages of using both symmetric and asymmetric cryptogrsphy in SSL/TLS?

The correct answer is D. Asymmetric cryptography is computationally expensive in comparison. However, it is well-suited. See the full explanation below for the reasoning.

Question

What is one of the advantages of using both symmetric and asymmetric cryptogrsphy in SSL/TLS?

Options

  • ASupporting both types of algorithms allows less-powerful devices such as mobile phones to use
  • BSymmetric algorithms such as AES provide a failsafe when asymmetric methods fail.
  • CSymmetric encryption allows the server to security transmit the session keys out-of-band.
  • DAsymmetric cryptography is computationally expensive in comparison. However, it is well-suited
