What is the meaning of BIT in Encryption ?
hmm.. unless that is some acronym I never heard before, a bit in encryption is just a bit.. as in "eight bits make a byte".
How is asymmetric encrytion work? Is there a simple ducument to describe this kind of encryption?
There a probably a million. Try this: go to www.howstuffworks.com and use the search function to search for: public key cryptography That will give you quite a lot to start with. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
