What is this called: encrypt X$X$ with key E$E$, decrypt X$X$ with key D$D$?

I am a software developer interested in developing an application with cryptography. I can explain what I want to accomplish, but I do not know the technical terms for the cryptographic functions I am seeking. Many Google searches have not helped me. Could someone please help me with the proper cryptographic terms for what I am seeking, so I know what to search for in my research?

Here is what I am looking for:

  • Encrypt large amounts of data quickly with key E$E$.
  • Encryption is currently unbreakable and is expected to remain so as far as is known.
  • The encrypted data cannot be decrypted with key E$E$.
  • The encrypted data can only be decrypted with key D$D$.
  • Key E$E$ is created by passing key D$D$ into an algorithm/function.
  • It is preferred that key D$D$ can be less than 20 characters and can be typed from what is visible on the keys of an ordinary computer keyboard. (AKA...a password)

Thank you!
