How do I choose a cryptographic method?

What factors should I consider when choosing a cryptographic method?

You should consider security level, performance, ease of implementation, and compatibility with existing systems.

Can you explain the difference between symmetric and asymmetric encryption?

Sure! Symmetric encryption uses the same key for encryption and decryption, while asymmetric uses a pair of keys (public and private).

Which cryptographic method is best for securing sensitive data?

It depends on your needs, but AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is widely recommended for its security and efficiency.

Are there any specific use cases for each type of encryption?

Yes, symmetric encryption is often used for bulk data encryption, while asymmetric is used for secure key exchange and digital signatures.
