Cryptography

Which of the following is not a disadvantage of symmetric cryptography compared with asymmetric ciphers?

  • A Provides Limited security services
  • B Has no built in Key distribution
  • C Speed
  • D Large number of keys are needed
Explanation

Symmetric cryptography is substantially faster and less computationally intensive than asymmetric cryptography. Key distribution, key-management scalability, and limited support for services such as nonrepudiation are relative disadvantages of symmetric systems.
