Public-key encryptionPublic-key encryption is a special encryption method, employing two passwords instead of one. One is password is given out to public - it is used to encrypt the data. The other password, a private one, is remembered by the party, which needs to decrypt the data. Only a file, encrypted with a public key, related to the private key, can be used to decrypt data to be decrypted by the private key. |
