Question: 1 / 400

What type of cryptography involves using the same key for both encrypting and decrypting?

Asymmetric Encryption

Symmetric Encryption

Symmetric encryption involves using the same key for both encrypting and decrypting the data. This is in contrast to asymmetric encryption, which uses different keys for encryption and decryption. Public-key encryption is another term used for asymmetric encryption, where a public key is used for encryption and a private key is used for decryption. Private-key encryption is not a standard term used in cryptography; hence it does not represent a valid option for this scenario.
