suresh What are the main differences between symmetric and asymmetric encryption?
Symmetric encryption uses a single key for both encryption and decryption, while asymmetric encryption uses two different keys, a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption.
Symmetric encryption is faster and more efficient for encrypting large amounts of data, while asymmetric encryption is more secure and reliable for secure communication between parties.
In symmetric encryption, the same key must be securely shared between the sender and recipient, while in asymmetric encryption, the public key can be freely distributed to anyone, and the private key is kept secret.
Overall, symmetric encryption is better suited for data encryption and decryption, while asymmetric encryption is better for secure communication and key exchange.
