How does symmetric cryptography work?

Can you explain how symmetric cryptography works?

Sure! Symmetric cryptography uses the same key for both encryption and decryption of data.

What are some common algorithms used in symmetric cryptography?

Common algorithms include AES, DES, and Blowfish. AES is widely used for its security and efficiency.

How is the key shared between parties?

The key must be shared securely, often through a secure channel or using asymmetric cryptography for initial exchange.

What are the advantages of symmetric cryptography?

It is generally faster than asymmetric cryptography and requires less computational power, making it suitable for large data.
