Q: What key characteristic defines symmetric encryption?
A: Both the sender and receiver use the same key for encryption and decryption.

Q: How does asymmetric encryption differ from symmetric encryption?
A: It uses a pair of keys – a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption.

Q: What does confidentiality ensure in cryptography?
