Detailed explanation-1: -The correct response is true. Asymmetric keys use two separate keys, one key to encrypt and one key to decrypt information.
Detailed explanation-2: -Symmetric encryption is asymmetric encryption’s counterpart. 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.
Detailed explanation-3: -The main difference between asymmetric versus symmetric cryptography is that asymmetric encryption algorithms make use of two different but related keys. One key encrypts data and another key decrypts it.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -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.
