County of Union, New Jersey. Although the issuance of passports is done by the federal passport agency, the County Clerkâs Passport Office, acting as an agent, is available to assist in the preparation of the application which, in turn, is forwarded to the State Department.
A problem with asymmetric encryption, however, is that it is slower than symmetric encryption. It requires far more processing power to both encrypt and decrypt the content of the message. To use asymmetric encryption, there must be a way for people to discover other public keys.
The type and length of the keys utilized depend upon the encryption algorithm and the amount of security needed. In conventional symmetric encryption a single key is used. With this key, the sender can encrypt a message and a recipient can decrypt the message but the security of the key becomes problematic.
