    At BYDFi, we take the safety of cryptocurrency transactions seriously. Private public key encryption is a crucial part of that. It works by using two keys: a private key and a public key. The private key is kept secret and is used to create a digital signature for each transaction. The public key, on the other hand, is shared with others and is used to verify the signature. This ensures that the transaction is authentic and has not been tampered with. So, when you send a cryptocurrency transaction, you use your private key to create a signature, and the recipient uses your public key to verify it. This process ensures the safety and integrity of the transaction, protecting you from fraud and unauthorized access.
