Which of the following encryption is better suited for storing the passwords ?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
SHA
💡 Explanation:
SHA is correct because it's a cryptographic hash function, which is the proper way to store passwords. Passwords should be hashed (one-way), not encrypted (two-way). AES, 3DES, and RSA are encryption algorithms that can be reversed with the right key, making them unsuitable for secure password storage. If a database is compromised, encrypted passwords can be decrypted.
