Answer:

Asymmetric Keys

Step-by-step explanation:

Asymmetric Encryption is a form of Encryption where keys come in pairs (Asymmetric Keys). What one key encrypts, only the other can decrypt.

The keys are interchangeable, in the sense that if key A encrypts a message, then B can decrypt it, and if key B encrypts a message, then key A can decrypt it.
