A sender is employing public key cryptography to send a secret message to a receiver?
Question: A sender is employing public key cryptography to send a secret message to a receiver?
The sender first creates a secret message using symmetric encryption (a cipher) and generates a random encryption key. They then encrypt the message using the encryption key. Afterward, the sender uses the receiver's public key, obtained via an Exchange process, to encrypt the key. The sender then sends both the encrypted secret message and the encrypted key to the receiver.
When the receiver receives the encrypted secret message and the encrypted key, they first use their own private key to decrypt the key. The receiver then uses the decrypted key to decrypt the secret message, allowing them to read the message that the sender has sent.
