VI
b. a private key along with additional information authenticated using a digital signature
c. a public key along with additional information authenticated using a message
authentication code
TU
d. a private key along with additional information authenticated using a message
authentication code - ANSWER a
Which of the following best describes how RSA is used to generate digital signatures?
IS
a. the sender signs the message using her public key. the receiver uses the sender's
private key to verify it
b. the sender signs the message using her private key. the receiver uses the sender's
M
public key to verify it
c. the sender signs the message using the receiver's public key. the receiver uses his
O
own private key to verify it
d. the sender signs the message using the receiver's private key. the receiver uses his
own public key to verify it - ANSWER b
A
What is the different between the computational Diffie-Hellman (CDH) problem and the
N
decisional Diffie-Hellman (DDH) problem?
a. CDH is easier than the discrete logarithm problem (DLP). DDH is harder than DLP
JP
b. CDH involves computing the shared secret from the public values. DDH involves
distinguishing the shared secret from another generated value.
c. CDH provides a stronger hardness assumption than DDH
d. CDH involves computing one of the private values from one of the public values.
DDH involves computing one of the public values from one of the private values -
ANSWER b
