Symmetric ciphers use only one key. By contrast, an asymmetric cipher will use two keys. One key is kept "private" by the the owner while the other is "published" or otherwise released to the public (hence known as the "public key"). Data encrypted by one key can only be decrypted using the other key.

What is The essential ingredients of symmetric cipher?

The essential ingredients of a symmetric cipher include a secret key, an encryption algorithm, and a decryption algorithm. The secret key is shared between the sender and receiver and is used to encrypt and decrypt the data. The encryption algorithm transforms plaintext into ciphertext using the key, while the decryption algorithm reverses this process, converting ciphertext back into plaintext using the same key. Security relies on the secrecy of the key, as anyone with access to it can decrypt the data.
