Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is based on :

  • A.Asymmetric key algorithm.
  • B.Symmetric key algorithm
  • C.Public key algorithm
  • D.Key exchange

Answer: B

AES is based on a Symmetric key algorithm.

The Advanced Encryption Standard (the Rijndael cipher, adopted by NIST in 2001) uses the same secret key to encrypt and to decrypt. It is a block cipher with a 128-bit block and keys of 128, 192 or 256 bits.

Asymmetric (public key) algorithms such as RSA use a pair of different keys, and key exchange protocols such as Diffie-Hellman establish a shared key rather than encrypting data, so neither describes AES.
