Asymmetric Cryptography
Asymmetric cryptography is used in OpenPGP. For a more detailed discussion see [](public-key-cryptography).
Asymmetric cryptography (also known as public-key cryptography) is used in OpenPGP to send messages without using a prior shared secret. For a more detailed discussion see [](public-key-cryptography).
Authenticated Encryption With Associated Data
Short AEAD, refers to an encryption scheme that ensures confidentiality of a message. Additionally, additional data, which is not confidential, may be associated with the message.
