1.what is symmetric and asymmetric encryption.

Question

Accepted Answer

Symmetric encryption uses the same key for both encryption and decryption, while asymmetric encryption uses different keys.

Symmetric encryption is faster and more efficient than asymmetric encryption.
Examples of symmetric encryption algorithms include AES and DES.
Asymmetric encryption is more secure as it uses a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption.
Examples of asymmetric encryption algorithms include RSA and ECC.

Accepted Answer

Basis of Comparison	Symmetric Encryption	Asymmetric Encryption
Encryption key	Same key for encryption & decryption	Different keys for encryption & decryption
Performance	Encryption is fast but more vulnerable	Encryption is slow due to high computation
Algorithms	DES, 3DES, AES, and RC4	Diffie-Hellman, RSA
Purpose	Used for bulk data transmission	Often used for securely exchanging secret keys

Accepted Answer

Symmetric encryption is used for only one key for both encryption and discryption but in asymmetric it has 2 key one is encryption and other one is discryption
