Question

What is one of the advantages of using both symmetric and asymmetric cryptography in ssl/tls?

Answer 1

Answer:

Symmetric keys are smaller than asymmetric, so they require less computational burden.

However, symmetric keys also have a major disadvantage—especially if you use them for securing data transfers. Because the same key is used for symmetric encryption and decryption, both you and the recipient need the key.
