Asymmetric Encryption is a type of cryptography that uses two different but mathematically related keys, one public and one private. The public key can be shared with anyone, while the private key must be kept secret. Messages encrypted with the public key can only be decrypted with the corresponding private key, and vice versa.This makes asymmetric encryption a very secure way to transmit data because even if someone obtains the public key, they cannot decrypt any messages that were encrypted with the corresponding private key.
