How Encryption works:
Symmetric vs. Asymmetric Key Systems
Complex algorithms, or sets of rules, are used to scramble the data being sent from plaintext into ciphertext. Once received, the data can then be decrypted only by using the key provided by the message originator.
Cryptographic key systems are essential to encryption technology. The two primary systems are symmetric and asymmetric.
Symmetric key system: Also known as a “secret” key system, an asymmetric key system requires all parties have the same key. The same key can be used to both encrypt and decrypt messages and must be kept secret or the security of the messaging is compromised. For all parties to have the same key, there must be a way to securely distribute the key. While this can be done, the security controls needed can make this system quite impractical for widespread and commercial use on an open network, like the Internet.
Asymmetric key system: This system, also known as a public/private key system, solves the distribution problem inherent in the symmetric key system. In this system, two keys are used. One key is kept secret, or “private,” while the other key is made widely available to anyone needing it and is referred to as the “public” key. Both the public and private keys are mathematically related so that information encrypted with the public key can only be decrypted by the corresponding private key.
