Answer bewlo question with 200 words and give two responses for peers for discussion board. Apa style, references and citations required.

Primary Task Response:

At first glance, the key wrapping approach to encrypting symmetric keys for key management applications seems unnecessarily elaborate. The alternative would be simple encryption using AES or an authenticated encryption using one of the block cipher modes of operation that provides authenticated encryption.

Question : Discuss the relative merits of using one of these approaches compared to key wrapping.

Peer Response(s): Read the responses from your peers and offer a constructive critique or additional information that adds substantively to the discussions. Be sure to acknowledge any outside sources you use.

Your responses to other students must be more than a simple "Good job" or "I agree with your post." They must also not just be "Let me add to your post..." Instead, your responses to each other should do three things:

1. Acknowledge the other student's post with some form of recognition about what they posted

2. Relate their posting to something you have learned or are familiar with

3. Add to the conversation by asking additional questions about their post, or discussing their topic further

Remember, this is a discussion forum. Your engagement with each other should be similar to how you would speak with each other if you were seated at the same table talking.
