Explanation:
The process of creating a cryptographic key that will be used to both encrypt and decrypt data
is known as the key creation stage in the encryption process. The confidentiality of the key
ensures the security of the encryption process, thus it's critical to create a strong key that's
challenging for hackers to decipher. A cryptographic procedure is used to create a public key
