    In the definition, is it correct to use the term “symmetric key”, when in fact it is the “private” key that needs to be decrypted? I’ve never seen the word symmetric in a PKI explanation to define the private key. I would assume using the word symmetric would make the reader think instantly of “private key encryption” when in this instance, it is all public key encryption that we are talking about.
