Symmetric Key

There is a problem in symmetric encryption because of the number of keys required for N number of people in a network. Which is:

    Number of keys required is:   N(N-1)
                              -----
			        2
For each person in the network I need to have a unique key (N), the next person in the Network needs to keep (N-1) keys, etc.. etc... so the number of keys becomes N + (N-1).

Asymmetric Encryption

  1. Generate Key Pair
  2. Share Public Key
  3. Import the Public Key of the Receiver
  4. Encrypt - Public - Receiver
  5. Decrypt - Private - Receiver

Tools


    Number of keys required is:   2N
