Symmetric encryption is more vulnerable to Man in the Middle Attack than Asymmetric public key encryption:
True
False
Symmetric encryption must include some transfer of a key in some way, whereas the Asymmetric public key can be transmitted in the open, while the private key is not transmitted. However, most instances of Asymmetric encryption use the public/private keys to exchange a private key. If a man is in the middle, this private key is then compromised and the payload is accessible. This question applies only to the symmetric or asymmetric portion of the exchange, and assumes that the key is exchanged in some manner that allows for a man in the middle attack. EDIT: This should be false. Asymmetric encryption is less vulnerable to Man in the Middle Attack as is much stronger. In explanation you are explaining issue with key exchange which is not related to encryption. Securing the exchange channel is different than encrypting message.
