Asymmetric cryptography, also known as public-key cryptography, is one of the key components of #blockchain technology. This form of cryptography allows everyone to verify the integrity of transactions, protect funds from hackers and much more. But how does it work?What is asymmetric cryptography?To understand asymmetric cryptography it is important to first understand the meaning of cryptography.Cryptography is a method of using advanced mathematical principles in storing and transmitting data in a particular form so that only those for whom it is intended can read and process it. Encryption is a key concept in cryptography — It is a process whereby a message is encoded in a format that cannot be read or understood by an eavesdropper. The technique is old and was first used by Caesar to (...)
