What is symmetric cryptography?

Answer 1

Symmetric cryptography, known also as secret key cryptography, is the use of a single shared secret to share encrypted data between parties.

Answer 2

There are two general types of modern cryptography; symmetric cryptography and asymetric (also known as public key) cryptography. Symetric crypto is where both sides have the same shared encryption key, and that key is used to both encrypt and also decrypt any encrypted information. Symmetric crypto is more efficient (faster) than asymmetric crypto, but asymetric crypto works without having to share a key.

Answer 3

Symmetric cryptography is a method of encryption where the same key is used to both encrypt (scramble) and decrypt (unscramble) information. It’s like having one key that can lock and unlock a door.

Here’s how it works in simple terms:

Encryption: You take a message and use a special key to scramble it into a code that no one can understand without the key.

Decryption: The person who receives the coded message uses the same key to unscramble it back into the original message.

Since the same key is used for both encryption and decryption, it’s essential to keep the key secret and share it only with people you trust.
