Question

Which cryptographic system uses two different keys for encryption and decryption?

A Symmetric key cryptography Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B Asymmetric key cryptography Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C Hashing Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D Digital signatures Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

In asymmetric key cryptography, also known as public key cryptography, a pair of keys is used: a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption. This approach allows secure communication without the need for a shared secret key.
