00:00Symmetric encryption is like a secret code where both parties use the same key to lock and unlock a message.
00:07It's fast but risky if the key is intercepted.
00:10Asymmetric encryption, on the other hand, is like having a lock and key pair, one to lock and one to unlock.
00:18It's slower but more secure, as the key used to lock can't unlock.
00:22So, symmetric is like sharing a secret password, while asymmetric is like having a digital lock and key system.
