Symmetric encryption uses the same key for both encryption and decryption. This means that the sender and receiver must both have the same secret key, making it fast and efficient but requiring secure key exchange. Asymmetric encryption, on the other hand, uses a pair of keys: a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption. This allows for secure communication without needing to share the private key, but it’s generally slower and more complex than symmetric encryption.
