Thank you in advance.
In this chapter, you will be introduced to the concepts and practical aspects of public key cryptography, also called asymmetric cryptography or asymmetric key cryptography. We will continue to use OpenSSL, as we did in the previous chapter, to experiment with some applications of cryptographic algorithms so that you can gain hands-on experience. We will start with the theoretical foundations of public key cryptography and will gradually build on the concepts with relevant practical exercises. After this, we will introduce some new and advanced cryptography constructs.
