Using the triple DES algorithm, which is the cipher text?
A. output derived from key K1
B. output derived from key K2
C. output derived from key K4
D. output derived from key K3

D. output derived from key K3

Explanation:

The cyphertext = EK3( DK2(EK1(plain text)))

And from the above, it is quite clear that in the case of the triple DES, the plain text is first encrypted using key 1, and then it is decrypted using the key 2. Finally, it is encrypted using the key 3, and this results in the final encrypted content, and which is the ciphertext. Thus, this clarifies that the output derived from the key k3 is the actual ciphertext, and hence the correct option for the above question is as mentioned above.

solution:

the auto-correct option of the auto-correct tool enables you to add and delete words that do not follow abbreviation rules because:

it is a feature that allows outlook to correct common spelling and typing errors and to replace characters with symbols. we can also can use auto-correct as a shortcut, which means we can type a small string of characters and have those characters replaced by a longer string.

do not use any of these common illegal characters/symbols:

# pound

% percent

& ampersand

{ left curly bracket

} right curly bracket

\ back slash

< left angle bracket

> right angle bracket

* asterisk

? question mark

/ forward slash

  blank spaces

$ dollar sign

! exclamation point

' single quotes

" double quotes

: colon

@ at sign
