Question

The two types of cryptography are

Answer 1

Just two types.,. Asymmetric and Symmetric.

There are fundamentally two types of cryptography.

• Symmetric Cryptography - This method uses only one mutually agreed upon'Private Key' (Secret key) by the sender and the receiver, both to encrypt and to decrypt the data. Even though this process is faster, it is easily hackable.

• Asymmetric Cryptography - This method uses a pair of Public key and Private key.

Answer 2

The two types of cryptography are symmetric cryptography and asymmetric cryptography. In symmetric cryptography, only one key is used to decrypt and encrypt the data. Before sending the data, the sender encrypts the message using the secret key and decrypts the message with the same key. In asymmetric cryptography, there is a pair of the key to encrypt and decrypt the data.
