Which of the following would Matt, a security administrator, use to encrypt transmissions from an
internal database to an internal server, keeping in mind that the encryption process must add as
little latency to the process as possible?

A.
ECC

B.
RSA

C.
SHA

D.
3DES

Explanation:
3DES would be less secure compared to ECC, but 3DES would require less computational power.
Triple-DES (3DES) is a technological upgrade of DES. 3DES is still used, even though AES is the
preferred choice for government applications. 3DES is considerably harder to break than many
other systems, and it’s more secure than DES. It increases the key length to 168 bits (using three
56-bit DES keys).
