 Asymmetric-key algorithms

Asymmetric-key algorithms, also known as public key algorithms, are a type of cryptographic system that uses a pair of keys for secure communication: a public key and a private key. These keys are mathematically related but cannot be easily derived from one another. ### Key Characteristics: 1. **Public and Private Keys**: - **Public Key**: This key can be shared openly. Anyone can use it to encrypt messages intended for the owner of the private key.
