Cryptography is a deep mystery to many people (even techies). Many people assume you must be an accomplished mathematician to understand it. There are two basic kinds of encryption: symmetric key, where the same key is used to encrypt and decrypt, and asymmetric key, where there are two interrelated keys, a public key and a private key.
