Which of the following is not a type of symmetric-key cryptography technique?

A. Caesar cipher

B. Data Encryption Standard (DES)

C. Diffie Hellman cipher

D. Playfair cipher

Correct Answer :

C. Diffie Hellman cipher


The Diffie Hellman uses a pair of asymmetric keys for encryption and decryption processes. All the rest mentioned cipher techniques use the same key for encryption as well as decryption.
