Hello everybody..
I hav some confusion regarding asymmetric encryption.As asymmetric
encryption it there is one private key and one public key.So any data
is encrypted using private key and the same is decrypted at client side
using public key and vice-versa..Now i hav confusion like i.e.
* Are both the keys available to both sender and receiver.?
* When data is encrypted using public key ,Is the same data decrypted
using private key( at client side).?
* How the keys are send to the client/receiver of message..I mean are
they assigned to browsers or they are validated or send depending on
login id/password of a user.?
*If possible kindly explain (in-short) the whole process of assymetric
encryption.!!!plz
Thanks & Regards

The private key should only be available to the receiver.
* When data is encrypted using public key ,Is the same data decrypted using
private key( at client side).?
The private key is only to decrypt data and sign messages.
* How the keys are send to the client/receiver of message..I mean are they
assigned to browsers or they are validated or send depending on login
id/password of a user.?
The keys ar generated ramdomly and in the case of SSL only last that
session.
