hey guys, I'm trying to get my head around the asymmetric key concept.
So I know that if you encrypt using the public key of the receiver (my friend) then it provides CONFIDENTIALITY because only he can decrypt with his private key, and if you encrypt it using the private key of the sender (myself) then it provides origin AUTHENTICATION because he will use my public key to decrypt and verify it.
my question, can asymmetric keys only provide either confidentiality or authentication? or do they actually provide both in some way?
cheers,
appreciate any help, hope you all have a blessed day.
