What are the different encryption methods?

What are the different encryption methods available today?

There are several encryption methods, including symmetric encryption, asymmetric encryption, and hashing. Would you like to know more about each?

Yes, please explain symmetric and asymmetric encryption.

Symmetric encryption uses the same key for both encryption and decryption, making it fast but less secure if the key is compromised. Asymmetric encryption uses a pair of keys (public and private) for added security, but it's slower.

What are some examples of symmetric and asymmetric encryption algorithms?

Common symmetric algorithms include AES and DES, while RSA and ECC are popular asymmetric algorithms.

How do these methods impact data security?

The choice of encryption method significantly impacts data security; symmetric methods are faster but riskier, while asymmetric methods offer better security at the cost of speed.
