Which encryption uses two keys?
Symmetric key encryption algorithms use a single symmetric key for both encryption and decryption, whereas asymmetric key encryption algorithms (aka public key algorithms) use two different but related keys for encryption and decryption.
Does symmetric encryption use two keys?
Symmetric encryption is a type of encryption where only one key (a secret key) is used to both encrypt and decrypt electronic information. This encryption method differs from asymmetric encryption where a pair of keys, one public and one private, is used to encrypt and decrypt messages.
