prime numbers only be used as encryption keys as in encryption the numbers are coded inj the form of 0s and 1s ,i.e binary form.
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.

Encryption is the process of making information unreadable except to intended recipient by means of codes, cyphers, steganography, etc.DES - Data Encryption Standard128 bit encryption - used by browsers to communicate with secure serversRSS - Proprietary large prime number based encryptionPGP - Open source encryption similar to RSSWEP - Wired Equivalence Privacy, 40 or 128 bit encryption for secure Wi-Fietc.

The most common hybrid system is based on the Diffie-Hellman key exchange, which is a method for exchanging private keys using public key encryption. Diffie-Hellman key exchange uses asymmetric encryption to exchange session keys. These are limited-use symmetric keys for temporary communications; they allow two entities to conduct quick, efficient, secure communications based on symmetric encryption, which is more efficient than asymmetric encryption for sending messages. Diffie_Hellman provides the foundation for subsequent developments in public key encryption. It protects data from exposure to third parties, which is sometimes a problem when keys are exchanged out-of-land.
Asymmetric encryption uses at least 2 keys - hence the asymmetry. The keys for encryption and decryption are not the same, so they are not "symmetric". Usually only 2 keys are used - a public key and a private key. The public key is published to a key registry or sent separately to those the key-pair owner wants to communicate with. The private key is retained by the owner. Messages encrypted with the private key can only be decrypted using the public key. If the source of the public key is trusted, this provides some proof of the source of the message. Messages encrypted with the public key can only be decrypted using the private key - so only the owner of the private key should be able to decrypt messages encrypted with their own private key.
Asymmetric Encryption is a form of Encryption where keys come in pairs. What one key encrypts, only the other can decrypt. Frequently (but not necessarily), the keys are interchangeable, in the sense that if key A encrypts a message, then B can decrypt it, and if key B encrypts a message, then key A can decrypt it. While common, this property is not essential to asymmetric encryption. Asymmetric Encryption is also known as Public Key Cryptography, since users typically create a matching key pair, and make one public while keeping the other secret. Users can "sign" messages by encrypting them with their private keys. This is effective since any message recipient can verify that the user's public key can decrypt the message, and thus prove that the user's secret key was used to encrypt it. If the user's secret key is, in fact, secret, then it follows that the user, and not some impostor, really sent the message. Users can send secret messages by encrypting a message with the recipient's public key. In this case, only the intended recipient can decrypt the message, since only that user should have access to the required secret key. The key to successful use of Asymmetric Encryption is a Key Management system, which implements a Public Key Infrastructure. Without this, it is difficult to establish the reliability of public keys, or even to conveniently find suitable ones.
In cryptography, public key algorithms require two keys, one secret and one public. The public key is used in the encryption function, while the secret key is used in decryption . Conventional, or symmetric algorithms use a single key for both purposes.

Depends on what kind of key.Keyboard keys are used to type.Lock keys are used to safeguard against thievery.Code keys are used to break a code or encryption.
It is the Public Key Encryption. A user using the Public Key Encryption has to have both a private key and a public key to send a secured message. The private key is used to unlock both a private and a public key encryption. A public key cannot unlock a private encryption.
DES is a widely-used method of data encryption using a private key that was judged so difficult to break by the U.S. government that it was restricted for exportation to other countries. There are 72,000,000,000,000,000 (72 quadrillion) possible encryption keys that can be used. For each given message, the key is chosen at random from among this enormous number of keys.

In 3DES, 3 distinct keys are used as K1, K2 and K3. First encrypt with K1, then Decrypt with K2 and finally Encrypt with K3 so actual key length used in 3DES is 168 excludin 8 bit party from each 64 bits means (56+56+56 becomes 168).
