A VPN ensures a secure and encrypted connection over a public network, protecting data from unauthorized access.

Asymmetric encryption involves the use of a pair of keys – public and private – for secure communication, ensuring confidentiality and authenticity.

Symmetric encryption uses the same key for both encryption and decryption, whereas asymmetric encryption employs a pair of public and private keys for secure communication.
