Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Asymmetric cryptography, also known as public-key cryptography, is a process that uses a pair of related keys–one public key and one private key–to encrypt and decrypt a message and protect it from unauthorized access or use.
Detailed explanation-2: -Asymmetric encryption, also known as public key encryption, uses a public key-private key pairing: data encrypted with the public key can only be decrypted with the private key.
Detailed explanation-3: -The most commonly used implementations of public key cryptography (also known as public-key encryption and asymmetric encryption) are based on algorithms presented by Rivest-Shamir-Adelman (RSA) Data Security.
