Public key cryptography is a form of data security used by certain organizations for various reasons. How the data is protected is based upon two different types of keys being generated. There will by the public key, which encrypts any data, such as a text file or email message. In order to be able to read the encrypted data, the receiver must have the private key. The person, who holds the private key can issue the public key to anyone they desire whenever they want to make sure any information sent is always encrypted.
Public Key Cryptography Makes It Difficult to Decrypt Files
Public key cryptography, which is available from us here at Digi-Sign, provides security protection to your data because the two keys generated are unrelated. This makes it rather difficult for someone to attempt to decrypt an encrypted message when they do not have your private key. However, the two keys are linked using mathematical algorithms which must match up in order for the data to be decrypted. This means that a file encrypted using a public key cannot be decrypted with any private key and requires using the matching private key.
