An organization is looking to secure its sensitive data transmissions over the internet. They decide to use a system where both the sender and the receiver have a set of keys, one public and one private. Which encryption system are they likely implementing?
- AES
- DES
- RSA
- SHA-256
They are likely implementing the RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) encryption system. RSA is a widely used public-key encryption system where each participant has a pair of keys: a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption. This ensures secure data transmission and is often used in secure communications and digital signatures.
