Asymmetric Keys Explained
| Games : Codes And Ciphers Asymmetric keys or ciphers work differently to symmetric keys. Here, a different key is used to encrypt the data as is used to decrypt. The one used to encrypt can be public, whilst the one to decrypt is called the private key. Finding candidates to do this is quite hard, as you need to use the private key to generate the public key without the private key being guessable to anyone. The way this is done is through a so-called one way function, that performs an operation on the private key that cannot be undone by anyone but the person who remains in possession of the private key, which is secure as it is never communicated or sent to anyone.
