Compare symmetric-key algorithms with public-key algorithms. What are the benefits and drawbacks of each type of algorithm? How are these differences manifested in the real-world uses of the two types of algorithms?

Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).


Symmetric-key algorithms are faster and less demanding on a system’s resources;
however, if a key is compromised, the system fails. Public-key algorithms may be
too demanding for encrypting large files, but, for the most part, they provide stronger encryption. In real-world usage, public-key encryption is typically used to
exchange secret keys to be used during the session securely.
