Asymmetric Primitives

Definition

Asymmetric Primitives are fundamental cryptographic operations that rely on a pair of mathematically related keys, one public and one private. These primitives enable secure communication, digital signatures, and key exchange without a prior shared secret. They are essential components in securing blockchain transactions, authenticating identities, and verifying data integrity across decentralized networks. The security of these primitives underpins the trust models of most modern digital asset systems.
