Arrange the recipient's actions in the lesson's hybrid decryption workflow.

Answer

Decrypt the encrypted symmetric key with the private key., Use the recovered symmetric key to decrypt the encrypted document., View or check the decrypted document contents.

Explanation

### The order 1. **Decrypt the encrypted symmetric key with the private key.** The recipient must recover the key that was used to encrypt the document. 2. **Use the recovered symmetric key to decrypt the encrypted document.** This returns the file to readable form. 3. **View or check the decrypted document contents.** The lesson uses a command to display and verify the resulting text. ### The concept The private key is not used directly on the document in this hybrid workflow. It decrypts the symmetric key. That key then reverses the symmetric encryption applied to the document. The order follows the dependencies between the encrypted key and encrypted file. ### Terms - **Private key**: The recipient’s secret key used to recover the symmetric key. - **Symmetric key**: The key used to encrypt and decrypt the document. - **Decryption**: Reversing encryption to recover readable data. ### Remember Recover the file key before trying to decrypt the file.
