Asymmetric algorithms have a useful feature that enables a public key to decrypt a message that was encrypted using a private key, or vice versa. The only way a public key can decrypt a message that has been encrypted with a private key is when that message was encrypted by the corresponding private key's holder. This type of encryption is called a digital signature.
