What are the limits of asymmetric cryptography?

What are the limits of asymmetric cryptography?

Asymmetric cryptography, while powerful, has limitations such as slower performance and vulnerability to quantum attacks.

Can you explain why it's slower compared to symmetric cryptography?

Sure! Asymmetric cryptography involves complex mathematical operations, making it slower than symmetric methods that use simpler algorithms.

What are quantum attacks?

Quantum attacks refer to potential threats posed by quantum computers, which could break current asymmetric encryption methods.

Are there any ways to enhance the security of asymmetric cryptography?

Yes, techniques like hybrid encryption and post-quantum cryptography are being explored to enhance security.
