A company implements

X.509

digital certificates

for employee authentication. However, an attacker

this attack was successful?

a) The certificate authority (CA)

was

compromised, allowing fake certificates

b) The encryption used was RSA-1024, which is

too weak

c) The attacker exploited a

replay attack on the authentication protocol

hash function like MD5
