Which of the following is an encryption algorithm?

PKI
ENCR
AES
MD5
HASH

1 answer

The encryption algorithm from the options you provided is AES (Advanced Encryption Standard).

Here's a brief overview of the other terms:

  • PKI (Public Key Infrastructure): A framework used for managing digital certificates and public-key encryption.
  • ENCR: This term is not widely recognized as a standard encryption algorithm.
  • MD5: This is a hashing algorithm, not an encryption algorithm. It produces a fixed-size hash value from input data but cannot be reversed.
  • HASH: This refers to a general class of hash functions, which are used to transform input data into a fixed-length string (hash), and like MD5, they are not encryption algorithms.

So, the correct answer is AES.
