Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of these uses a key-pair, a public key and a private key
A
asymmetric encryption
B
symmetric encryption
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
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: -Public key cryptography, also known as asymmetric cryptography, uses two separate keys instead of one shared one: a public key and a private key. Public key cryptography is an important technology for Internet security.

Detailed explanation-3: -Public-key (asymmetric) cryptography requires the use of a public-key and a private key.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asymmetric encryption uses the notion of a key pair: a different key is used for the encryption and decryption process. One of the keys is typically known as the private key and the other is known as the public key.
