The public-key cryptography approach also creates a more efficient means of cryptographic security by ensuring RSA-compliant encryption and decryption throughout the secured network (Sarkar, Maitra, 2010). As a result the use of public-key cryptography hardens and makes more secure each connection and node on a network (Chevalier, Rusinowitch, 2010).

C3. What will help you trust a public-key that belongs to an unfamiliar person or Web site, and why does it improve trust?

First, the reliance on public-key cryptography from unfamiliar sites can increase trust by having the specific security levels of security configured on an enterprise-wide network to only support more advanced forms of cryptography-based configurations (Galindo, Herranz, 2008). In other words configuring an entire network to support only the more advanced forms of public-key cryptography can make each site accessed more trustworthy. In organizations this is possible yet in individual system and website use, the reliance on certificate-based encryption...
