In Chapter 6, “Cryptography and Symmetric Key
Algorithms,” we introduced basic cryptography concepts and explored
a variety of private key cryptosystems. These symmetric cryptosystems
offer fast, secure communication but introduce the substantial
challenge of key exchange between previously unrelated parties.
This chapter explores the world of asymmetric (or public key)
