Can you give examples of asymmetric encryption algorithms?

Asymmetric encryption uses a pair of keys: a public (open) key and a private (secret) key. Here are some popular asymmetric encryption algorithms:

• RSA — one of the most common algorithms, based on factoring large numbers. Used for encryption and digital signatures.

• Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) — uses properties of elliptic curves to create shorter keys with the same security level as RSA.

• DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm) — used for creating digital signatures, often in conjunction with SHA for integrity and authenticity verification.

• ElGamal — based on discrete logarithm problem, used for encryption and digital signatures.

These algorithms are widely used in security protocols such as TLS/SSL, PGP, SSH, etc.
