Symmetric key encryption is the method where a single encryption key is sent to the receiver so that both sender and receiver share the same key. This is also known as shared secret encryption, as the same secret key is used for encryption and decryption of messages. This method is fast and efficient, but it requires the secure sharing of the secret key between the communicating parties.
