Hybrid cryptography: An approach to secure communication that combines the strengths of both symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods. The data is encrypted using a symmetric key for speed and efficiency, while the symmetric key itself is then encrypted with an asymmetric key for secure transmission. This blend of techniques allows large volumes of data to be transmitted securely and efficiently.
