How does PGP encyrption work?

PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) encryption works by using a combination of symmetric and asymmetric encryption techniques. When a user wants to send a secure message, PGP generates a random symmetric key to encrypt the message. This symmetric key is then encrypted using the recipient's public key before sending the message. The recipient can use their private key to decrypt the symmetric key, which can then be used to decrypt the original message.


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."

What type of symetry does a sponge have?

A sponge is not symmetric, therefore is referred to as asymmetric.


Why is symmetric encryption used?

Mostly for performance - symmetric encryption is much much faster (order of magnitudes) than asymmetric encryption.

Is the flag of Puerto Rico symmetric?

No. The star makes it asymmetric in the horizontal axis.


What is the Difference between symmetric and asymmetric design?

Symmetric means that the design of the image is balanced and both sides are equal. An asymmetric image is when the design does not repeat itself so if you fold it in half the designs will not meet in the same areas.


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.
