The correct option is C Asymmetric crypto system
Section 2(1)(f) of the IT Act, 2000, defines asymmetric crypto system as a system of a secure key pair consisting of a private key for creating a digital signature and a public key to verify the digital signature. Asymmetric cryptography, also known as public key cryptography, uses public and private keys to encrypt and decrypt data. The keys are simply large numbers that have been paired together but are not identical (asymmetric).
