The public key is used to perform the following: (Choose three.)

A.
Validate the CRL

B.
Validate the identity of an email sender

C.
Encrypt messages

D.
Perform key recovery

E.
Decrypt messages

F.
Perform key escrow

Explanation:
B: The sender uses the private key to create a digital signature. The message is, in effect, signed with the
private key. The sender then sends the message to the receiver. The receiver uses the public key attached to
the message to validate the digital signature. If the values match, the receiver knows the message is authentic.
C: The sender uses the public key to encrypt a message, and the receiver uses the private key to decrypt the
message.
E: You encrypt data with the private key and decrypt with the public key, though the opposite is much more
frequent.
Public-key cryptography, also known as asymmetric cryptography, is a class of cryptographic protocols based
on algorithms that require two separate keys, one of which is secret (or private) and one of which is public.
Although different, the two parts of this key pair are mathematically linked.
