    Public key encryption uses a public key that is available to everyone to encrypt messages and a private key available only to the intended recipient to decrypt the messages. The sender uses the recipient's public key to encrypt the message into an encoded string that can only be decoded by the recipient using their private key, ensuring privacy. For example, a service provider can use public key encryption to securely exchange messages with customers, where the provider has the private key to access all encrypted user data but each user can only decrypt their own messages encrypted with the public key.

    Public key encryption


    Also known as asymmetric cryptography, in this data is encrypted
    using a set of keys, namely: -

    1. Public Key (available to everyone for encryption)


    2. Private Key (available at the admin level for decryption)

    The process consist of encoding the given text as a string of


    characters, only to be decoded by the receiver. The public key of
    receiver is widely accessible, which helps sender to encrypt the
    messages in accordance with the given algorithm.

    The messages thus could only be read by the receiver, as they


    possess the private key.

    Example: -

    One of the most useful application is to create a confidential


    passage for exchange of message, preferentially between a service
    provider and a user (ex- customer support). Here in the data of all
    users can be accessed by the service provider using the private key,
    where as all users get the same copy of public key to encrypt their
    messages. No user can decrypt message of other user, therefore
    creating privacy.
