Conventional encryption ciphers rely on a single key for both encryption and decryption. Modern protocols will use a private key for encryption and a different public key for decryption. These two keys are mathematically related in a fashion that allows them to encrypt/decrypt the same data successfully.

What are the differences between conventional and public key algorithms?

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.

Is pgp encryption safer than other encryptions?

"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."
