    Symmetric encryption encrypts and decypts the information using a single password. In this encryption technique, the message is encrypted with a key, and the same key is used for decrypting the message. It is the simplest and commonly known encryption technique. It makes it easy to use but less secure.

    Asymmetric encryption uses two keys for encryption and decryption. It is based on the technique of public and private keys. A public key, which is interchanged between more than one user. Data is decrypted by a private key, which is not exchanged. It is slower but more secure. The public key used in this encryption technique is available to everyone, but the private key used in it is not disclosed.
