asymmetric key encryption
Asymmetric key encryption is a cryptographic system that uses two different keys - a public key and a private key - to encrypt and decrypt data. The public key is used to encrypt the data, while the private key is used to decrypt it. This creates a secure way to communicate and exchange information over insecure networks, such as the internet.
