Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "Diffie-Hellman".

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The symmetric encryption system of Diffie–Hellman enables two individuals or parties with no previous experience of one another to collectively create a mutual secret key across an unprotected stream or network.
  • The above key could also be used with symmetric key encryption to secure subsequent correspondence or communication.

So Bob and Alice will use this type of technique to share a secret key.
