The actual method of key generation depends on the details of the authentication protocol used. a) true
b) false

True is the correct answer .

Explanation:

Key generation is the method that are used for the security purpose .The key generation is used in the encryption and decryption process that are totally depends type of the authentication  protocol.We can used the particular program to produce the key .

The key generation is used in the cryptography. We also symmetric and asymmetric key concept for the key generation .Authentication and Key Agreement is one of the authentication  protocol that are mainly used in the 3 g network that are depend on the key generation.

Therefore the given statement is true .
