Asymmetric Encryption Definition

• [i] Asymmetric Encryption) - (definition:: Encryption that uses two mathematically related keys, a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption) - (subject:: Cybersecurity

Asymmetric Encryption Example

Asymmetric encryption allows users to encrypt data without needing to share a secret key, so it solves the key-sharing problem of Symmetric Encryption at the cost of higher computational cost. Examples include Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC).
