Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

B  The Diffie-Hellman algorithm and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) both use private and public encryption keys. Diffie-Hellman is a method of securely exchanging cryptographic keys over a public channel, and SSL uses public key cryptography to establish a secure connection. AES is a symmetric key encryption standard, and MD5 is a hashing algorithm, neither of which use public/private key pairs.
