Wait, isn't C) SSL also related to asymmetric encryption? I'm not 100% sure, but it does use public/private keys, doesn't it?

I agree with Yen, asymmetric encryption uses a public key and a private key for encryption and decryption.

Public key and private key, for sure. I remember learning about that in my crypto class. Pretty sure it's the only option that fits the question.

Hmm, this one's tricky. I think the answer is B) Public key and private key. Asymmetric encryption is all about those key pairs, right?
