If Bob is using asymmetric cryptography and wants to send a message to Alice so that only she can decrypt it, what key should he use to encrypt the message?
Message hidden in unrelated text. Sender and receiver have pre-arranged to use a pattern to remove certain letters from the message which leaves only the true message behind.

Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

CHAP

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challenge-Handshake_Authentication_Protocol

Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is an identity verification protocol that does not rely on sending a shared secret between the access-requesting party and the identity-verifying party (the authenticator). CHAP is based on a shared secret, but in order to authenticate, the authenticator sends a ''challenge'' message to the access-requesting party, which responds with a value calculated using a ''one-way hash'' function that takes as inputs the challenge and the shared secret. The authenticator checks the response against its own calculation of the expected hash value. If the values match, the authentication succeeds, otherwise it fails. Following the establishment of an authenticated connection, the authenticator may send a challenge to the access-requesting party at random intervals, to which the access-requesting party will have to produce the correct response.

Incorrect answers:

EAP - A framework that allows for creation of different ways to provide authentication, such as smart cards

SPAP - Shiva Password Authentication Protocol, PAP with encryption for the usernames/passwords that are transmitted.

PAP - Password Authentication Protocol. Used to authenticate users, but is no longer used because the information was sent in cleartext.
