Because virtually all internet applications use both symmetric and
public-key cryptography, both forms need to be secure.

The title of the standard is "IEEE P1363.3: Identity-Based
Public-key Cryptography Using Pairings." It specifies schemes for identity-based encryption, identity-based digital signatures, identity-based signcryption, and identity-based key establishment.
He studied computer science at Florida Atlantic University, and he became interested in cryptography in the 1970s, when papers on a technology called
public-key cryptography emerged.
According to Tech Crunch, Apple uses
public-key cryptography, which is based on a principle that each message has two keys, one for input and other for pickup, and unless someone finds a copy of the pickup key, or find a weakness in the system, there is no way intercept.
Public-key cryptography based on ECC currently offer both higher security and better performance compared to RSA.
