Symmetric encryption requires that both parties (sender and receiver) know and have the exact same encryption key. This key is used both for encrypting and decrypting the data. Using the same encryption algorithm means that only those individuals that know or have the same key will be able to read any messages encrypted by the symmetric key.

How are classical encryption techniques like modern symmetric-key cipher?
In symmetric key techniques there is a single key and that key is kept secret. Symmetric key is a like a sub part of classical encryption.
Symmetric encryption involves what key?
A shared secret keyand other words;Both the sender and receiver share the same key
Which type of encryption process uses the same key for encryption and decryption?
A: Symmetric
Symmetric encryption involves?
A shared secret key.
Which encryption standard uses the same key for encryption and decryption and offers low overhead?
Symmetric
What is a symmetric encryption?
Symmetric-key algorithms are a class of algorithms for cryptography that use trivially related, often identical, cryptographic keys for both decryption and encryption.
What does the word symmetric encryption mean?
The term "symmetric encryption" refers to a form of computerized cryptography that uses a singular encryption key to guise an electronic message so that it can be sent in a secure manner.
The most popular private or symmetric key encryption is based on?
DES
Army IA Symmetric encryption involves?
A shared secret key
What happens in symmetric encryption?
A key is used to encipher something. The same key can be used to decipher it.
Can you use AES for encryption and decryption at same hardware?
Using the same (or different) hardware will work with AES as long as the encryption and decryption use the same key. AES relies on the symmetric encryption key which means the same key is used to lock and unlock the data. The hardware that uses it does not matter.
What is a disadvantage of symmetric cryptography?
In symmetric key encryption there is one key that is shared with the person you want to share with your data. The largest disadvantage is that you have to make sure that the key remain secret.
