  At BYDFi, we understand the importance of security in the world of digital currencies. An asymmetric cryptosystem, such as RSA or ECC, is a fundamental component of this security. It ensures that your digital assets are protected by using a pair of keys: a public key and a private key. The public key is used for encryption, allowing you to securely send transactions and messages. The private key, on the other hand, is kept secret and is used for decryption, ensuring that only you can access your digital assets. Additionally, the use of digital signatures provides an extra layer of security. These signatures, created using your private key, allow for authentication and verification of the integrity of transactions. With an asymmetric cryptosystem, you can have peace of mind knowing that your digital currencies are secure and protected from potential threats.
