Because public key encryption requires the use of two different keys, it is also known as which type of encryption?
asymmetric Also called asymmetric key cryptography. In most instances, each person publishes one key publicly. Parties who wish to communicate with that person will then use that public key to encrypt the data that they wish to transmit. Each person/party has two keys. •Public key which is published and can be accessed by anyone. •Private key, also known as the secret key, that is kept confidential. The two keys are mathematically related. •Information encrypted with the public key can be decrypted only with the private key.
