I didn't knew, that assymetric Encryption and Decryption has disadvantages against symmstric systems, but symmetric kryptosystems need assymetric key exchage. So that's a pretty basic concept i didn't understand so far, TY. So that means, that the advantages from @Woodstock are for the comparison with other standards for key exchange. I think i got it, Thank you! | |
