Why Public-Key Cryptosystems?
To overcome two of the most difficult problems associated with symmetric
encryption:
Key distribution (key for sysmetric encryption)
How to have secure communications in general without having to trust a
K D C with your key
Digital signatures
How to verify that a message comes intact from the claimed sender
Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman: proposed a method that addressed
both problems (1976)
