Asymmetric Encryption Diagram

This diagram provides a clear conceptual overview of asymmetric encryption, a foundational method in cybersecurity often referred to as public-key cryptography. It depicts two distinct keys, highlighted by the central 'DIFFERENT KEY' label, which are essential for the secure exchange of information. One key is typically used for encryption, while the other, a different but mathematically linked key, is used for decryption, enabling secure communication and data protection without sharing a common secret key.
