🛡️ Free practice test question from: encryption (Security+)

• Symmetric algorithms (like AES) are fast and efficient for large data

• Asymmetric algorithms (like RSA) are computationally intensive and slower

• Cryptography is a general term encompassing all encryption methods

• Steganography is about hiding data existence, not encrypting it

• Symmetric encryption is typically 100-1000 times faster than asymmetric

• Minimal data size increase after encryption

• A single key makes management straightforward for a one-time physical shipment

Therefore, a symmetric algorithm would be the BEST choice for efficiently encrypting large data for physical shipment.
