Asymmetric Encryption

Meaning

Asymmetric Encryption, in a biological context, refers to a principle of highly specific, one-way cellular communication, where a broadly disseminated signaling molecule carries a message that can only be accurately interpreted by a unique, restricted cellular receptor. This system ensures the secure and precise transmission of biological information, preventing unintended cellular responses. The distinct roles of the signal sender and the specific cellular decoder mirror the public and private key concept.
