Symmetric encryption

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Symmetric cryptography is best suited for bulk encryption because it is much faster than asymmetric cryptography. With symmetric cryptography: Both parties share the same key (which is kept secret).
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The MD5 algorithm, defined in RFC 1321, is probably the most well-known and widely used hash function.
