Following are some of the most important points related to asymmetric encryption for passing exams and for general understanding.
-
Asymmetric Encryption uses two mathematically related but different keys known as a key pair.
-
The key pair within an asymmetric encryption is commonly referred to as a private key and a public key.
-
In Asymmetric encryption, we can encrypt with one of the keys in the key pair and then decrypt with the other key in the key pair.
