Criptografía simétrica. Es el sistema de cifrado más antiguo y consiste en que tanto el emisor como el receptor encriptan y desencriptan la información con una misma clave k (clave secreta) que ambos comparten. El funcionamiento es muy sencillo: el emisor cifra el mensaje con la clave k y se lo envía al receptor. Este último, que conoce dicha clave, la utiliza para desencriptar la información.
