Encryption is a technical procedure that secures data and systems by transforming plaintext into ciphertext and back again. Unauthorized parties find it challenging to obtain encrypted information. Typically, this procedure can be classified as either symmetric or asymmetric encryption. Asymmetric systems use public and private key pairs for data encryption and decryption, while symmetric key systems use the same key for both operations.
