For this discussion, imagine yourself as the CIO of an engineering and software development company that has federal, military, and civilian customers. You must ensure that all your company’s information, as well as data exchanged with your customers, is properly encrypted using known, accepted standards.

· Describe the standard, its pros and cons, and justify your selection.
· Discuss whether you would communicate with your customers using an asymmetric or symmetric algorithm, and why, and rationalize the type of algorithm you would use, such as RSA or DES.
