Asymmetric Cryptography is a method of encryption that uses two different keys: a public key and a private key. The public key can be shared with anyone, allowing them to encrypt messages intended for the key's owner. Only the owner, who possesses the corresponding private key, can decrypt these messages, ensuring confidentiality. This system enhances security by eliminating the need to share a secret key. It is widely used in various applications, including Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for secure internet connections and Digital Signatures for verifying the authenticity of digital messages and documents.
