How asymmetric cryptography both requires and support the use of symmetric cryptography?

Lmfao - do Richard kays coursework by yourself instead of asking others to answer it for you.


What is the two types of cryptography?

Three methods of cryptography are Substitution (substituting one symbol for another), Transposition (rearranging the order of the characters), and Steganography (hiding the existence of the message).

What is symmetric cryptography?

There are two general types of modern cryptography; symmetric cryptography and asymetric (also known as public key) cryptography. Symetric crypto is where both sides have the same shared encryption key, and that key is used to both encrypt and also decrypt any encrypted information. Symmetric crypto is more efficient (faster) than asymmetric crypto, but asymetric crypto works without having to share a key.


Difference between symmetric and asymmetric key cryptography?

Symmetric cryptography uses the same secret (private) key to encrypt and decrypt its data whereas asymmetric uses both a public and private key. Symmetric requires that the secret key be known by the party encrypting the data and the party decrypting the data. Asymmetric allows for distribution of your public key to anyone with which they can encrypt the data they want to send securely and then it can only be decoded by the person having the private key. This eliminates the need of having to give someone the secret key (as with symmetric encryption) and risk having it compromised. The issue with asymmetric is that it is about 1000 times slower than symmetric encryption which makes it impractical when trying to encrypt large amounts of data. Also to get the same security strength as symmetric, asymmetric must use strong a stronger key than symmetric. If you do a quick search on the differences between symmetric and asymmetric you can find many more explanations. This just a quick overview.


What is Difference between DES and RSA algorithm?

1. RSA comes under Asymmetric and DES comes under Symmetric 2. RSA is more secure than DES.


How is cryptography used?

Cryptography is basically the process of hiding information in order to protect the sensitive information, data or message from unknown attacks for any reasons. Cryptography actually consists of two terms encryption and decryption. The process in which message is ciphered or encrypted is known as encryption and the process in which message is deciphered at recipients end is known as decryption. And this whole process is known as cryptography. Public keys and private keys are used in the process of cryptography. Cryptography can be seen as symmetric and asymmetric. In symmetric cryptography same key is used for both encryption and decryption while in asymmetric different keys are used for both encryption and decryption. Today Cryptography is used in various fields like ATM, e-banking, IT security, Maths etc.

18 What system encryption uses the concept of an asymmetric key?

This is known as public-key cryptography, or asymmetric cryptography which is used to secure electronic communication over a network.
