    This document discusses public key encryption and how to achieve different security objectives. It asks three questions: 1) If the objective is authentication and non-repudiation between X and Y, X should encrypt the message with Y's public key. 2) If the objective is confidentiality and authentication, X could encrypt with Y's public key. 3) Confidentiality can be achieved optimally using public key encryption or a combination of public and private keys.
