= Hybrid cryptosystem
{wiki=Hybrid_cryptosystem}
A hybrid cryptosystem is a cryptographic system that combines the strengths of both symmetric and asymmetric (public-key) encryption to secure communications. This approach leverages the efficiency of symmetric encryption for bulk data encryption while using asymmetric encryption for secure key exchange. \#\#\# Key Features: 1. **Symmetric Encryption**: - Fast and efficient for encrypting large amounts of data. - Uses a single secret key for both encryption and decryption.
