Weekly CISSP Exam Questions
In cryptography, which of the following is NOT a type of key used?
A. Symmetric Key
B. Public Key
C. Asymmetric Key
D. Elliptic Key
Answer: D
Explanation:
In the context of cryptography, keys are categorized mainly as symmetric, asymmetric (public and private), but there is no "Elliptic Key."
- Symmetric Key: One key for both encryption and decryption.
- Public Key: Used in asymmetric encryption, publicly shared.
- Asymmetric Key: Refers to the use of a pair of keys (public and private).
- Elliptic Key: This is not a type of key. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is a type of asymmetric cryptography that may use elliptic curves, but the keys are still asymmetric keys.
