Which encryption method encrypts and decrypts data using two separate yet mathematically connected cryptographic keys?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Asymmetric encryption, also known as public-key encryption, encrypts and decrypts data using two separate yet mathematically connected cryptographic keys. One key is called the public key and can be shared with anyone, while the other key is called the private key and must be kept secret. The public key is used to encrypt the data, and only the corresponding private key can decrypt it. Likewise, the private key can be used to sign the data, and only the corresponding public key can verify it. This method provides confidentiality, integrity, authentication and non-repudiation for data.

Ah, the age-old battle between symmetric and asymmetric encryption. It's like choosing between a handshake and a fist bump – both get the job done, but one's just more fun.

I prefer asymmetric encryption, it's like a secret code only certain people can crack.

Hashing? Nah, that's more like hiding your secrets in plain sight. Give me that asymmetric encryption any day!

I'm not sure, but isn't asymmetric encryption the one where you need a secret decoder ring to figure out the keys? Sounds like a spy movie to me!

Symmetric encryption? Really? That's so last century. C'mon, let's get with the times and go for asymmetric encryption!
