Which is faster?
Short answer. Symmetric encryption.
Which key decrypts in asymmetric encryption?
The private key of the owner.
Two kinds
| Type | Keys | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Symmetric | one shared | AES |
| Asymmetric | public+private | RSA |
Remember
| Symmetric: same key, faster |
| Asymmetric: key pair, safer sharing |
Encryption uses keys. But how many? There are two kinds. Symmetric uses one shared key, like AES. Asymmetric uses a public key and a private key, like RSA. Remember. Symmetric is one key and faster. Asymmetric shares keys safely.
