I would like to know what are types of asymetric and symetric cryptography?
I got the question from comptia practice test

RSA, 3DES, AES, DES, ECC, AES256

I would like to know what is defintion of each, and under which category they belong under. thank you

    Symmetric encryption uses the same key for encrypting and decrypting. Examples are 3DES, AES, etc.

    Asymmetric encryption (also known as Public Keying) uses one key for encryption and a second key for decrypting. Examples are Diffie Hellman, RSA, etc.
    Jack of all trades, master of none

    RSA( Rivest, Shamir, Adelman) used in VPN, Digital Certificates etc. and ECC used in mobile devices ( Eliptical Curve Cryptography) are asymmetric cryptography also DH(Diffie Hellman) used for symmetric key exchange in IKE phase 1 in VPNs

    DES (Data Encryption Standard), 3DES , AES, AES256 (Advances Encryption Standard) are symmetric algorithms

    Where do the different versions of RC fall?
    Decide what to be and go be it.
