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.
Symmetric Encryption. Symmetric encryption (or pre-shared key encryption) uses a single key to both encrypt and decrypt data. Both the sender and the receiver need the same key to communicate. Symmetric key sizes are typically 128 or 256 bitsâthe larger the key size, the harder the key is to crack.
