What Is Public Key Cryptography?
In the day of like spies and stuff, you could encrypt a message with some algorithm and then meet someone in a park to give them your letter. With the internet, when you're sending information over the internet, that encryption key is what it's called. You can't send someone else the decryption keys because then you have to encrypt the decryption key. So what they came up with was this thing called public key cryptography. And basically how this works is that every website has both a public key and a private key.
