[{"term"=>"asymmetric key algorithm", "description"=>"An encryption algorithm that uses a pair of keys – a public key and a private key – for encryption and decryption. The public key is freely available to anyone who wants to encrypt a message for the intended recipient. The private key, on the other hand, is known only to the intended recipient and is used for decrypting the message. The use of asymmetric key algorithms provides a high level of security for encrypted communications, as the private key is not readily accessible to unauthorized users."}]
