Public Key Cryptography?
-
Public-key cryptography also called asymmetric cryptography is communication where people exchange messages that can only be read by one another.
-
In public-key cryptography, each user has a pair of cryptographic keys: a public key and a private key
-
The private key is kept secret, while the public key may be widely distributed and used by other users.
-
Incoming messages are encrypted with the recipient’s public key and can only be decrypted with their corresponding private key.
