uses two keys, i.e., a public key and a private key pair for data encryption. It is also known as
public key encryption.

Answer: Asymmetric

Explanation:

Asymmetric encryption is a type of encryption that uses two keys, i.e., a public key and a private
key pair for data encryption. The public key is available to everyone, while the private or secret key

is available only to the recipient of the message. For example, when a user sends a message or
data to another user, the sender uses the public key to encrypt the data. The receiver uses his
private key to decrypt the data.
