Detailed explanation-1: -Public-key cryptography was invented by Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman. It takes a message encrypted in one shared secret and decrypts it in another.
Detailed explanation-2: -Diffie–Hellman key exchange is a mathematical method of securely exchanging cryptographic keys over a public channel and was one of the first public-key protocols as conceived by Ralph Merkle and named after Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman.
Detailed explanation-3: -RSA (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman) is a public-key cryptosystem that is widely used for secure data transmission. It is also one of the oldest. The acronym “RSA” comes from the surnames of Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman, who publicly described the algorithm in 1977.
