Cryptography is really an issue of mathematics being used to create code into an undecipherable form or algorithms. Which algorithm is the most efficient, is mathematically rich, and uses the least resources?
  1. El Gamal
  2. Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems
  3. One-Way Functions
  4. Knapsack
Explanation
Answer: B - The Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems (ECC) is the most efficient, is mathematically rich, and uses the least resources. The ECC provides digital signatures, secure key distribution, and encryption. ECC encryption functionality requires a smaller percentage of the resources, which makes it optimal for processing capacities, storage power supply, and bandwidth that affect wireless devices and cellular telephones. Compared to RSA, ECC offers the same level of protection with a key size that is shorter, even though in most circumstances, algorithms become more secure if the key is longer.
