Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Asymmetric key cryptography relies on public-private key pairs, such as RSA and Diffie-Hellman. Electronic Code Book (ECB) is a symmetric encryption mode typically used with algorithms like AES. Since ECB operates under symmetric standards, it is not used in asymmetric key cryptography.
