    Describe the differences between Symmetric Encryption and Asymmetric Encryption

    A symmetric type of encryption uses a single key that is used to access something and an asymmetric one uses a pair of keys so you can think of It as the better encryption.

    Symmetric Encryption basically is private, meanwhile Asymmetric Encryption is public. Entirely, Symmetric Encryption differs from Asymmetric Encryption because it uses sort of a private key to code and find an encryped email. While Asymmetric Encrytion differs as it most typically uses the public key of the user to encrypt the message.

    Symmetric encryption uses the same key to encrypt and decrypt, asymmetric encryption uses one key to encrypt, and then uses another key to decrypt it

    Symmetric encryption uses a private code to encrypt and decrypt an encrypted email. Asymmetric encryption uses the public code of the recipient to encrypt the message.

    Symmetric encryption uses a single key that needs to be shared among the people who need to receive the message. And asymmetric encryption uses a pair of public key and a private key to encrypt and decrypt messages when communicating

    Asymmetric encryption uses a pair of public and private keys to encrypt and decrypt messages when communicating, whereas symmetric encryption uses a single key that must be shared among the persons who need to receive the message.

    Symmetric encryption uses a single key that must be shared by the user who needs to receive the message, while asymmetric encryption uses a public / private key pair when communicating the message. Encrypts and decrypts messages.

    Symmetric encryption is a type of encryption in which electronic data is encrypted and decrypted using only one key (a secret key). The key must be exchanged between the entities communicating using symmetric encryption so that it can be used in the decryption process. This encryption method differs from asymmetric encryption, which encrypts and decrypts messages using a pair of keys, one public and one private.

    The other type is asymmetric encryption, which is also known as public-key cryptography. Asymmetric Encryption, unlike symmetric encryption, encrypts and decrypts data using two distinct but mathematically connected cryptographic keys. A ‘Public Key’ and a ‘Private Key’ are two types of keys. They’re referred to as a Public and Private Key Pair.

    The difference between symmetric encryption and asymmetric encryption is that symmetric encryption uses a private key to encrypt while asymmetric encryption uses a public key to encrypt.

    Symmetric encryption uses the same key to encrypt and decrypt, on the other hand, asymmetric encryption uses public key for encryption and a private key for decryption.

    Symmetric encryption means that one key is used for encryption and decryption, while asymmetric encryption means that one key is not used for encryption and decryption.
