Is knapsack algorithm is a public key encryption algorithm?
yes
Why should the encryption algorithm be made public?
To help people find the weakness of the algorithm
What is symmetric cipher?
A symmetric cipher is an algorithm that uses the same secret (private key) for both encryption and decryption. An asymmetric cipher is an algorithm that uses two different secrets, a public key for encryption, and a private key for decryption. In English, basically the job of cryptography algorithms are to make text or files jumbled so it can't be read except by the desired recipients. Different algorithms use different techniques for doing this such as switching the order of letters or substituting them with a different letter, and the secret provides the exact instructions on how to do that.
What are the difference between DES and RSA algorithm?
DES is a symmetric cryptographic algorithm, while RSA is an asymmetric (or public key) cryptographic algorithm. Encryption and decryption is done with a single key in DES, while you use separate keys (public and private keys) in RSA. DES uses 56-bit keys for encryption while RSA uses 2600-bits of KEY
The combination of a public key and a private key is known as a?
This is known as RSA encryption. Encryption involving a public and private key combination is known as asynchronous cryptography, as opposed to synchronous cryptography. It is also known as public key cryptography. RSA is an algorithm that may be used (but there are others that can be used), in public key cryptography. (A key pair)
Public key encryption is also known as asymmetric encryption?
Yes. Public Key encryption (or asymmetric encryption) requires a pair of keys; a public and a private key for exchanging data in a secure manner.
What kind of encryption uses the concept of public keys?
Asymmetric encryption employs the use of public/private key pairs.
What is the difference between AES and RSA?
AES is a symmetric cryptographic algorithm, while RSA is an asymmetric (or public key) cryptographic algorithm. Encryption and decryption is done with a single key in AES, while you use separate keys (public and private keys) in RSA. The strength of a 128-bit AES key is roughly equivalent to 2600-bits RSA key.
What is the best public-key cryptography algorithm and why?
RSA (Rivest, Shamir, and Adelman) is the best public key algorithm.
Most encryption software products use a method called?
Public-Key Encryption RSA Technology
Advantages of RSA algorithm in encryption and decryption of a plain text?
RSA's biggest advantage is that it uses Public Key encryption. This means that your text will be encrypted with someone's Public Key (which everyone knows about). However, only the person it is intended for can read it, by using their private key (which only they know about). Attempting to use the Public Key to decrypt the message would not work. RSA can also be used to "sign" a message, meaning that the recipient can verify that it was sent by the person they think it was sent by.
Utilizing Public Key Encryption How would John and Jim send an encrypted message between parties?
John would use Jim's public key to encrypt and Jim would use his private key to decrypt.Public Key Cryptography (Asymmetric encryption)An algorithm where data encrypted with a public key can only be decrypted by the matching private key. Vice versa is true, what is encrypted with a private key can only be decrypted with a public key.
