Definitions of asymmetric encryption:

Asymmetric encryption uses different keys for encryption and decryption. Each participant is assigned a pair of keys, consisting of an encryption key and a corresponding decryption key. It is impossible to derive (“hack”) the decryption key from a known encryption key (with reasonable computing power, time and money. Asymmetric encryption typically is used for public key encryption.

Uses a key pair: one key for encryption (called a public key) and a separate key (called a private key) for decryption. The sender uses the recipient's public key to encrypt data and the recipient uses their own private key to decrypt data.

Public-key cryptography is a form of modern cryptography which allows users to communicate securely without previously agreeing on a shared secret key. For most of the history of cryptography, a key had to be kept absolutely secret and would be agreed upon beforehand using a secure, but non-cryptographic, method; for example, a face-to-face meeting or a trusted courier. There are a number of significant practical difficulties in this approach to distributing keys. ...
