Facts about Encrypting

Facts about Encrypting There are two basic techniques for encrypting information: symmetric encryption (also called secret key encryption) and asymmetric encryption (also called public key encryption.) PGP is often used for signing, encrypting, and decrypting texts, e-mails, files, directories, and whole disk partitions and to increase the security of e-mail communications. Asymmetric encryption uses two related keys (public and private) for data encryption and decryption, and takes away the security risk of key sharing. Symmetric encryption is the oldest and best-known technique. The RSA algorithm encryption and authentication method is the most commonly used encryption method.
