d. Encryption: A’s private key followed by B’s private key;
Decryption: A’s public key followed by B’s public key.
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: Encryption: A’s private key followed by B’s public key;
Decryption: B’s private key followed by A’s public key.
Explanation:
Encryption is where plain text is converted into something which is random and meaningless(ciphertext) for the purpose of data security.
Decryption is where the ciphertext is converted into plain text or readable format.
