Types of Encryption
Symmetric
Asymmetric
Uses one key to encrypt and decrypt
Both parties need to know the key
Need to securely communicate the shared key
Cannot share key with multiple parties, they get their own (different) key from the organization
Uses two keys
Public—everyone has access
Private—used to decrypt (only known by you)
Public key can be used by all your trading partners
Can create digital signatures
