Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Symmetric encryption uses the same key to both encrypt and decrypt data. Examples of symmetric encryption include AES, DES, and Blowfish. Private and asymmetric encryption involve the use of different keys for encryption and decryption, and public encryption involves the use of a key for encryption that can be distributed publicly, but a separate private key for decryption.
