Encryption
 Symmetric Encryption

 This is the simplest kind of encryption that involves only one secret key to
encryption and decryption information.
 Symmetrical encryption is an old and best-known technique.
 It uses a secret key that can either be a number, a word or a string of random
letters. It is a blended with the plain text of a message to change the content
in a particular way.
 Both the sender and receiver both needs the same key in order to encrypt and
decrypt.

 The drawback to this system is that if the key is discovered, all the
messages can be decrypted.
 The main disadvantage of the symmetric key encryption is that all parties
involved have to exchange the key used to encrypt the data before they
can decrypt it.
Asymmetric
Encryption
Asymmtric Encryption

Asymmetric encryption use two keys, one to encrypt the data, and
another key to decrypt the data.

These keys are generated together. One is named as Public key and is
distributed freely.

The other is named as Private Key and it is kept hidden.

 Both Sender & Recipient has to share their Public Keys for Encryption
and has to use their Private Keys for Decryption.
How it Works…
 Continue…

Asymmetric encryption use two keys:

 Public Key - to encrypt the data

 Private Key - to decrypt the data

These keys are generated together.

The Public key(s) is distributed freely between the sender and receiver.
The other is named as Private Key and it is kept hidden.

The Private Key is only used for Decryption and will not be shared between the
sender and receiver.
 Difference

Symmetric encryption uses a single key that needs to be shared among the
people who need to receive the message while asymmetrical encryption
uses a pair of public key and a private key to encrypt and decrypt messages
when communicating.
Symmetric encryption is an old technique while asymmetric encryption is
relatively new.
Asymmetric encryption was introduced to complement the inherent problem
of the need to share the key in symmetrical encryption model, eliminating the
need to share the key by using a pair of public-private keys.
Asymmetric encryption takes relatively more time than the symmetric
encryption.
