[All CISMP-V9 Questions]

Which algorithm is a current specification for the encryption of electronic data established by NIST?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the current specification for the encryption of electronic data established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). AES is a symmetric block cipher that can encrypt (encipher) and decrypt (decipher) information, converting data to an unintelligible form called ciphertext and back to its original form, plaintext. The AES algorithm is capable of using cryptographic keys of 128, 192, and 256 bits to encrypt and decrypt data in blocks of 128 bits.It was selected by NIST as a Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) to protect electronic data and is widely recognized and used for secure data encryption1.

I heard NIST is actually using Klingon encryption these days. Best keep an eye out for that one!

AES all the way! Stronger than DES and more modern than RSA. Plus, the name just sounds cooler.

PGP? Really? That's more of a whole package, not just an algorithm. I'd go with B, AES.

I'm not sure, but I think AES makes sense because it's widely used and considered secure.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure it's DES. Isn't that the classic NIST encryption standard?
