Symmetric/Asymmetric Encryption and Digital Signatures
Let's explore the categories of public-key encryption schemes and how digital signatures assure the integrity of a signature.
As we have already explained, symmetric cryptography is mainly based on randomization. On the other hand, asymmetric cryptography does not rely only on randomization because it allows an easy computation in the forward direction (e.g., generating the key pair), but makes the inverse computation extremely hard (e.g. discovering the private key from the public key). The main building block for asymmetric ...
