Public-key cryptography is an encryption method that uses a pair of cryptographic keys, a public key and a private key, to encrypt and decrypt data. The public key is available to everyone, while the private key is kept secret by the owner. When you encrypt data using the public key, only the holder of the corresponding private key can decrypt it.
How does Public-Key Cryptography work?
Public-key cryptography relies on the fact that some mathematical problems are difficult to solve but easy to verify. These problems are used to create a one-way function that can be used to encrypt and decrypt data. The public key is used to encrypt the data, and the private key is used to decrypt it. This means that only the owner of the private key can decrypt the data that has been encrypted using the public key.
