 INTRODUCTION
In cryptography, a public key is a large
numerical value that is used to encrypt data.
The key can be generated by a software
program, but more often, it is provided by a
trusted, designated authority and made
available to everyone through a publicly
accessible repository or directory.
 PRIVATE KEY
A private key is a tiny bit of code that is paired
with a public key to set off algorithms for text
encryption and decryption. It is created as
part of public key cryptography during
asymmetric-key encryption and used to
decrypt and transform a message to a
readable format. ... A private key is also
known as a secret key.
 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PUBLIC KEY AND PRIVATE KEY

PUBLIC KEY PRIVATE KEY

The public key is only used to encrypt data Private Key is used to both encrypt and
and to decrypt the data, the private key is decrypt the data and is shared between
used and is shared. the sender and receiver of encrypted
data.
The public key mechanism is slower The private key mechanism is faster.

The public key is free to use and the
private key is kept secret only.
The public key mechanism is called
asymmetric being two keys for different
purposes.
The private key is kept secret and not
public to anyone apart from the sender
and receiver.
The private key mechanism is called
symmetric being a single key between
two parties.
