Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A public key is a cryptographic key that can be used by any person to encrypt a message so that it can only be decrypted by the intended recipient with their private key.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asymmetric encryption involves two keys, private and public. Something encrypted with one can only be decrypted with the other. There is no shared key. A message encrypted with a key can not be decrypted with the same key.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asymmetric encryption is the process of using a public key from a public/private key pair to encrypt plaintext, and then using the corresponding private key to decrypt the ciphertext. Asymmetric encryption relies on asymmetric cryptography, also known as public key cryptography.
