public-key cryptography
Public-key cryptography is a method of encryption that utilizes two distinct keys: a public key and a private key. The public key is freely shared with others, while the private key is kept confidential. Messages encrypted with the public key can only be decrypted using the corresponding private key, ensuring secure communication and data protection.
