Answer to Question #199086 in Software Engineering for Unknown255319

Question

A system for sending messages securely is protected by AES encryption. The AES key is

encrypted using the RSA public key of the message recipient. The RSA-encrypted key and

AES-encrypted message are then delivered to the recipient, who can decrypt the key and

then use it to decrypt the message.

A security analyst reviewing this system comments that combining AES with RSA in this

way is unnecessarily complex. They propose using only the RSA cipher. Is this a sensible

suggestion? Explain your reasoning.
