In which method of encryption is a single encryption key sent to the receiver so both sender and receiver share the same key?

a) ssl
b) symmetric key encryption
c) public key encryption
d) private key encryption

B. Symmetric key encryption

Explanation:

Symmetric key encryption is one in which a single encryption key is sent to the receiver so both sender and receiver share the same key. In this type of encryption, the sender uses a particular key to encrypt the data and sends the encrypted data (cipher data) to the receiver and then the receiver uses the same key to decrypt the data.

Public key encryption, or asymmetric encryption uses two keys - a private key and a public key. The public key is know to everyone while the private key is known only to those for whom the message is intended. An application of this type of encryption is in SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) -  a protocol for transmitting data privately on the internet.

Private key encryption is not exactly one of the encryption methods but rather, a private key and a public key are used in encryption.

The best option is therefore symmetric key encryption.

Hope this helps!

we can all learn from our past mistakes because we all have different ways of learning different types of techniques. my way may or may not another classmate remember and have the repetition to acknowledge such standard. such as remembering acronyms. using abbreviations to us remember keep things in order in our memory. this us figure out what comes next in the sequence. if so, what we have is a sentence of just letters all in caps. we either know the meaning or have no idea what it stands for. most of the time we know the meaning and context. but most of us who don't know, should learn by having a quick glance at what needs to be remembered. such as repetition in the memory for acronyms. one way that me, is the fact that i'm always doing math and english assignments. so we have to remember specific meanings such as soapstone for documents, such as citing correctly. or pemdas for doing the equations correctly, even if it's the super long way. this works for everyone. you just have to find what works for you by practicing and repetition daily.
