Wait, is this exam about crypto or patents? I'm starting to feel like I need a law degree and a math PhD just to pass this thing.

D) RSA? That's a good one, but I think DSA is the correct answer here. Government standards and all that, you know?

C) RC4? What is this, a game of 'Guess the Cipher'? C'mon, the question is clearly about DSA.

B) AES? Nah, that's way too modern. This question is about something from the early 90s, so it's gotta be DSA.

I believe it's RSA because it's widely used for encryption.

A) DSA? That's the one, I remember reading about that in my crypto textbook. FIPS 186 was all about the Digital Signature Algorithm, right?
