COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

Detailed explanation-1: -Asymmetric cryptography uses two keys: if you encrypt with one key, you may decrypt with the other. Hashing is a one-way cryptographic transformation using an algorithm (and no key).

Detailed explanation-2: -As the name implies, asymmetric encryption is different on each side; the sender and the recipient use two different keys. 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: -If you use symmetric encryption, one key both encrypts and decrypts data. A hacker with access to that one key can do both functions. Asymmetric encryption relies on two keys. One encrypts, and the other decodes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asymmetric encryption uses two separate keys and more complex algorithms in the encryption and decryption process, which makes it slower for encrypting and decrypting large amounts of data.

Detailed explanation-5: -The two main uses of asymmetric-key algorithms are public-key encryption and digital signatures. Public-key encryption is a method where anyone can send an encrypted message within a trusted network of users.
