Asymmetric encryption, also known as public–key cryptography, is an encryption technique that uses two different keys, a public key and a private key. The public key can be used to encrypt a message, while the private key can be used to decrypt it. This type of encryption is more secure than symmetric encryption because it requires two keys instead of one, making it virtually impossible for unauthorized users to access the data.
