Question

package. his main goal was to speed up rsa encryption. ordinarily, if alice wants to use rsa to encrypt a message to bob, she looks up his public key and then applies rsas one - way function to the message. conversely, bob decrypts the ciphertext by using his private key to reverse rsas one - way function. both processes require considerable mathematical manipulation, so encryption and decryption can, if the message is long, take several minutes on a personal computer. if alice is sending a hundred messages a day, she cannot afford to spend several minutes encrypting each one. which kind of evidence is included in this excerpt to support the authors claim? select the correct answer in each row. included not included an example a quote a fact a hypothetical situation

Explanation:

The text presents a scenario where Alice wants to use RSA encryption to send messages to Bob. This is an example of how RSA encryption works in a real - like situation. There are no quotes from any source. The statement about the time - consuming nature of RSA encryption for long messages on a personal computer is a fact. And the situation with Alice sending a hundred messages a day is a hypothetical situation to illustrate the problem with time - consuming encryption.
