Which encryption method uses asymmetric algorithms to secure the initial key exchange, allowing symmetric encryption to be used for the remainder of the session?
Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral (DHE) is a robust encryption method that initially employs asymmetric algorithms to securely exchange keys, then switches to symmetric encryption for the session's duration to balance security with performance. DHE is preferred over static key methods due to the added layer of security from using ephemeral keys, which reduce the risk of interception during the key exchange phase.
