What is the practical relationship between symmetric and asymmetric encryption in TLS?
- A Asymmetric establishes a shared secret, then fast symmetric encryption protects the traffic
- B Only asymmetric encryption is used
- C Only symmetric encryption is used
- D Neither is used; hashing protects the traffic
Answer
Asymmetric establishes a shared secret, then fast symmetric encryption protects the traffic
Asymmetric cryptography solves key distribution but is far slower, so it is used only for the handshake and authentication.
