Module 5: What is asymmetric key encryption?

Two keys are involved in asymmetric key encryption: pubic and private keys

Any other user who wants to send an encrypted message can get the intended recipient's public key from a public directory

You use the public key to encrypt a message and you send it to the recipient

When the recipient gets the message, they decrypt it with their private key, which no one else should have access to except the recipient
