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. 1, record 1, Spanish, - criptograf%C3%ADa%20sim%C3%A9trica
