Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which vocabulary word fits this definition?An encryption technique that uses paired public and private key algorithms for secure data communication
A
Baconian cipher
B
Public key cryptology
C
Morse code
D
Pigpen cipher
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Public key cryptography is a method of encrypting or signing data with two different keys and making one of the keys, the public key, available for anyone to use. The other key is known as the private key. Data encrypted with the public key can only be decrypted with the private key.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asymmetric encryption uses a mathematically related pair of keys for encryption and decryption: a public key and a private key.

Detailed explanation-3: -Public-key cryptography, or asymmetric cryptography, is the field of cryptographic systems that use pairs of related keys. Each key pair consists of a public key and a corresponding private key. Key pairs are generated with cryptographic algorithms based on mathematical problems termed one-way functions.

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.
