PUBLIC KEY
A public key is created in public key
encryption cryptography that uses
asymmetric-key encryption algorithms.
Public keys are used to convert a message
into an unreadable format. Decryption is
carried out using a different, but
matching, private key. Public and private
keys are paired to enable secure
communication.
Public-keysystems, such as Pretty Good
Privacy (PGP), are popular for
transmitting information via the Internet.
They are extremely secure and relatively
simple to use. The only difficulty with
public-key systems is that you need to
know the recipient's public key to encrypt
a message for him or her.
Two main branches of public key
cryptography are:
2. RSA Algorithm
3. Elliptic Curve
