I have always felt explain specialized knowledge of professional terms is a very serious matter but it is difficult to understand, so write this to understand the public and private key
Basic understanding:
1. must be paired public and private keys that each public key there is only a private key and a private key and each also has one and only one public key
2. The public and private keys are not as usual Like the key, only the decryption function, they have both encryption and decryption functions, but, something public key encryption, and only the corresponding private key can unlock, while the private key to encrypt something, and only phase the corresponding public key can unlock
3. in general, a pair of public and private key corresponding to the public key will be to get a lot of people, while the private key is generally only individuals (companies, organizations) holds
Let me give an chestnuts:
In ancient times, there is John Doe two people, they are very good friends, and later Joe Smith to go out of business, before leaving, Joe Smith John Doe said: "I have a treasure, you told him to public key and the public key to use to tell a John Doe. " John Doe took it public
Joe Smith John Doe's going to put things, a list of the column, and the private key secret list of added, so that the handwriting on the list, it becomes something other people do not understand, then Joe Smith put the encrypted together with the list of the package to the Escort

Follow-up and think:
Although the example above, John Doe also encrypted with the public the letter to Joe Smith, but in fact, this is actually very safe, such as personal bodyguard to John Doe's public key stolen, then disguised John Doe and write encrypted with the public, so Joe Smith would be deceived into, so in most cases, are using private key encryption, public key and only used to verify, sent from the other side of things, is not what someone else has been modified of.

我一直觉得专业术语解释专业知识虽然严谨,但是很让人难以理解,不过我也知道有时候强行加入自己的理解,反而更容易让人误会,但还是写了这个,如果让您觉得困难,还请多多见谅
