B)long
C)flat
D)thin

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RSA, being a public-key cryptography algorithm, is computationally intensive and thus slow for encrypting and decrypting long messages. For efficiency, it's often used to encrypt a key for a faster symmetric encryption algorithm, which then encrypts the actual, potentially long, message.
