Detailed explanation-1: -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. The private key is never shared; it is kept secret and is used only by its owner.

Detailed explanation-2: -Private key encryption systems use a single key that is shared between the sender and the receiver. Both must have the key; the sender encrypts the message by using the key, and the receiver decrypts the message with the same key.

Detailed explanation-3: -A private key, also known as a secret key, is a variable in cryptography that is used with an algorithm to encrypt and decrypt data.

Detailed explanation-4: -The two keys are called the “public key” and the “private key” of the user. The network also has a public key and a private key. The sender uses a public key to encrypt the message. The recipient uses its private key to decrypt the message.
