Hey there everyone I am almost done with CCNA: Sec only 3 chapters left
I have a question regarding the asymmetric encryption though
Is that true?:
Public Key Locks-> Private Key Unlocks
Private Key Locks-> Public Key Unlocks
Public Key Locks-> Public Key Can't Unlock
Private Key Locks-> Private Key Can't Unlock

Keep in mind, the public -> private direction is for encryption, while the private -> public direction is for signing.
