Computation of the discrete logarithm is the basis of the cryptographic system _______(a) Symmetric cryptography(b) Asymmetric cryptography(c) Diffie-Hellman key exchange(d) Secret key cryptographyI had been asked this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.The query is from Discrete Probability in division Discrete Probability of Discrete Mathematics

Answer»

The correct OPTION is (c) Diffie-Hellman key exchange

Explanation: A discrete logarithm modulo of an integer to the base is an integer such that a^x ≡ b (mod g). The PROBLEM of computing the discrete logarithm is a well-known challenge in the FIELD of cryptography and is the basis of the cryptographic SYSTEM i.e., the Diffie-Hellman key exchange.
