Answer 1

Purpose	Symmetric Encryption	Asymmetric Encryption
Encryption	Uses a single key to encrypt and decrypt information.	Uses a pair of public and private keys to encrypt and decrypt information.
Speed	Symmetric encryption performs faster	Asymmetric encryption performs slower compared to symmetric encryption.
Algorithms	AES, RC4, DES, QUAD, 3DES, Blowfish etc.	Diffie-Hellman and RSA
Purpose	Preferred for transferring huge data	Mostly used for exchanging secret keys safely.
