Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -By far the biggest disadvantage of symmetric encryption is its use of a single, secret cryptographic key to encrypt and decrypt information.
Detailed explanation-2: -Symmetric key encryption has two drawbacks. The secret has to be communicated in a secure method and there must be a unique secret between each originator and receiver.
Detailed explanation-3: -If an unauthorized user gains access to a particular symmetric key, the security of any data encrypted using that key is compromised.
