Episode 44: Cryptographic Concepts: Symmetric and Asymmetric

23 Jun 2025

Description

Cryptography is the backbone of digital security, and understanding its core principles is essential. In this episode, we explain the difference between symmetric and asymmetric encryption, along with their real-world applications. You’ll learn how symmetric encryption uses a single key for both encryption and decryption, while asymmetric encryption relies on key pairs for secure key exchange, digital signatures, and more. We also discuss algorithm examples like AES, RSA, and ECC. Grasping these concepts enables you to evaluate the strength, use cases, and implementation considerations of cryptographic solutions.
