Symmetric-key encryption (secret key encryption)

  • Symmetric-key algorithms are cryptographic algorithms that employ the same cryptographic keys both for plaintext encryption and ciphertext decoding.

  • The keys could be identical, or there could be a simple transition between them

Asymmetric-key encryption (public key encryption)

  • Asymmetric-key algorithms encrypt and decrypt a message using a pair of related keys (one public key and one private key) and safeguard it from unauthorized access or usage.
