Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In asymmetric encryption process. Each communicating party starts with how many keys?
A
5
B
4
C
3
D
2
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Asymmetric cryptography, also known as public-key cryptography, is a process that uses a pair of related keys–one public key and one private key–to encrypt and decrypt a message and protect it from unauthorized access or use.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are two sides in an encrypted communication: the sender, who encrypts the data, and the recipient, who decrypts it. As the name implies, asymmetric encryption is different on each side; the sender and the recipient use two different keys.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. One encrypts, and the other decodes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asymmetric encryption is also called public key encryption, but it actually relies on a key pair. Two mathematically related keys, one called the public key and another called the private key, are generated to be used together.
