PKI encryption and decryption involves two keys: a public key and a private key. The relationship between the keys is defined as follows: • Data that is encrypted with the private key can only be decrypted using the public key. • Data that is encrypted with the public key can only be decrypted using the private key. Public key cryptography is an example of Asymmetric Algorithm.
