Review:
Asymmetric Cryptography
overall review score: 4.5
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
score is between 0 and 5
Asymmetric cryptography, also known as public-key cryptography, is a method of encrypting and decrypting information using different keys. It involves a pair of keys - a public key which can be shared openly, and a private key which is kept secret.
Key Features
- Uses two different keys for encryption and decryption
- Secure method for communication and data exchange
- Key distribution is easier compared to symmetric cryptography
- Provides digital signatures for authentication
Pros
- Enhanced security for data transmission
- Digital signatures provide non-repudiation
- Allows for secure communication over insecure networks
Cons
- Requires more computational power compared to symmetric cryptography
- Key management can be complex in large-scale systems
