Topic 1
Symmetric Cryptography
Symmetric cryptography uses either symmetric or secret keys to encrypt or decrypt messages. In symmetric cryptography, the same key that encrypts the data is used to decrypt the data. In what way is the key in symmetric cryptography “private”?
Topic 2
Asymmetric Cryptography
Asymmetric cryptography involves the use of different keys to encrypt and decrypt the data. These keys are referred to as private and public keys, respectively. In what way are keys in asymmetric cryptography “private” and “public”?
