Asymmetric encryption
Symmetric encryption
Asymmetric encryption uses different keys for encryption and decryption.

Asymmetric on the other hand is more secure but slow. Hence, a hybrid approach should be preferred.
Symmetric is usually much faster but the key needs to be transferred over an unencrypted channel.
