Which of the following is a disadvantage of asymmetric encryption in comparison to symmetric encryption?
None of the above
Asymmetric encryption of data is slower than symmetric encryption, especially for bulk encryption.
It's problematic for key distribution and scalability
Asymmetric encryption is faster, which has a tendency to cause data fragments on encrypted data if the NTP is not properly synched.
Asymmetric provides non-repudiation and confidentiality. It's scalable and solves the problem of key distribution. However, its weaknesses lie in its performance - it's slower and requires more processing power than symmetric encryption.
