Incorrect Answers:
A: Blowfish can be used with IPSec but not as often as HMAC.
B: Twofish, a variant of Blowfish, can be used with IPSec but not as often as HMAC.
C: RC4 is popular with wireless and WEP/WPA encryption. IPSec can use HMAC-MD5 for data integrity.Dulaney, Emmett and Chuck Eastton, CompTIA Security+ Study Guide, Sixth Edition, Sybex, Indianapolis, 2014, pp 139, 250, 251, 255-256, 260
