Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The encryption standard adopted by the U.S. government in 2001 to compensate for increasing computing power is AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). AES is a symmetric encryption algorithm that is widely used today due to its strong encryption abilities and is considered a replacement for its predecessor, DES (Data Encryption Standard). Triple DES is also a symmetric encryption algorithm but it is slower as it uses three iterations to encrypt the data. Public key encryption (also known as asymmetric encryption) is a different type of encryption that involves using a pair of keys for encryption and decryption, and was not specifically adopted to compensate for increasing computing power.
