Asymmetric Encryption differs from symmetric encryption in that uses two keys; a public key known to everyone and a private key, or secret key, known only to the recipient of the message. Since November 2001, AES has been the FIPS-approved symmetric encryption algorithm of choice. This generic cryptosystem approach combines symmetric encryption (also called symmetric cipher, such as DES, 3DES and AES) with asymmetric encryption (also called public key encryption, such as RSA). |
