In symmetric key encryption, a single encryption key is shared between the sender and receiver, and this key is used for both encryption and decryption of data. This is in contrast to public key encryption, where a pair of keys (public and private) is used for encryption and decryption, and both keys are not shared between sender and receiver. SSL/TLS, private key encryption, and distributed encryption also do not involve the sharing of a single key between sender and receiver.
