ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) Practice Question

Which statement correctly explains why asymmetric encryption is preferred over symmetric encryption for exchanging keys between parties?

  • It uses a single key that both parties already possess, reducing overhead.

  • It converts plaintext into a non-reversible hash, so no key exchange is needed.

  • Its algorithms run faster than symmetric encryption, making real-time key exchange practical.

  • It enables two parties to establish encryption without transmitting a shared secret.
