To protect information
Asymmetric encryption employs the use of public/private key pairs.
Yes, the basic underlying concept is still same . First encryption is done and then to decode the original text decryption is done..
Encryption
This is known as public-key cryptography, or asymmetric cryptography which is used to secure electronic communication over a network.
People have developed many encryption algorithms. One particular encryption algorithm is the Rijndael algorithm, usually called the AES or Advanced Encryption Standard.
Encryption is converting plain text into cipher text . Yes, encryption can be cracked and then the text can be decrypted.
"Evaluating cryptography is difficult since without 'breaking' the encryption its hard to say whether one encryption is better or not. Pretty Good Encryption (PGP) is asymmetric, that is the encryption and decryption keys are different which may give it an edge on symmetric encryption."
Basic encryption (up to 256 bit encryption) software costs around $400 per year. Encryption softwares are not 100% foolproof.
Encryption
what does the word skit stand for in encryption
Mostly for performance - symmetric encryption is much much faster (order of magnitudes) than asymmetric encryption.
