Quantum Cryptography
Asymmetric encryption is a cryptographic technique that uses a pair of keys, a public key and a private key, to encrypt and decrypt data. Unlike symmetric encryption, which relies on a single shared key, asymmetric encryption allows for secure communication over an insecure channel, enabling users to share their public keys while keeping their private keys secret. This method forms the backbone of public-key cryptography, facilitating secure data exchange and digital signatures.
congrats on reading the definition of asymmetric encryption. now let's actually learn it.
