-
integrity
-
authentication
-
confidentiality
-
availability
Pregunta 9
Pregunta
Why is the 3DES algorithm often preferred over the AES algorithm
Respuesta
-
3DES is more trusted because it has been proven secure for a longer period than AES
-
AES is more expensive to implement than 3DES.
-
3DES performs better in high-throughput, low-latency environments than AES
-
Major networking equipment vendors such as Cisco have not yet adopted AES.
