# Asymmetric Encryption

- [RSA](https://book.jorianwoltjer.com/cryptography/asymmetric-encryption/rsa.md): An encryption standard using prime number factorization to encrypt and decrypt with an asymmetric keypair
- [Diffie-Hellman](https://book.jorianwoltjer.com/cryptography/asymmetric-encryption/diffie-hellman.md): The Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange uses asymmetric encryption to set up a shared secret for symmetric encryption
- [PGP / GPG](https://book.jorianwoltjer.com/cryptography/asymmetric-encryption/pgp-gpg.md): The "Pretty Good Privacy" asymmetric encryption scheme used in email and sending encrypted or signed messages
