Accepted Answer

MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) is a specification that is used to simplify attachments to e-mail messages by providing a standard way to encode multimedia data and other binary data attachments in e-mails. This allows the recipient to easily view or access the attachment without any compatibility issues. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the protocol used for sending and relaying e-mail messages, Telnet is a protocol used for remotely accessing and managing devices, and POP (Post Office Protocol) is a protocol used for retrieving e-mails from a mail server. None of these protocols are specifically designed for simplifying attachments to e-mail messages.

Question 8

When only the two parties involved in sending a message have the code, this is called ________-key encryption.&#10;A) private&#10;B) foreign&#10;C) public&#10;D) protocol

Accepted Answer

Private key encryption, also known as symmetric encryption, involves encrypting and decrypting messages using the same key. This means that only the two parties involved in sending the message have access to the key and can read the message. Public key encryption, on the other hand, involves using two keys - one public key that is widely available and one private key that is kept secret. While public key encryption can be more secure in some situations, private key encryption is ideal for situations where only two parties need to communicate securely.
