... a symmetric-key algorithm transforms data to make it extremely difficult to view without possessing a secret key. The key is considered symmetric because it is used for both encrypting and decrypting. These keys are usually known by one or more authorized entities. 6, record 1, English, - secret%20key%20cryptographic%20algorithm
