Symmetric does not use a key, and asymmetric makes use of keys.
Symmetric is one way, and asymmetric is a two way function.
Symmetric encryption is strong and asymmetric encryption is weak.
Symmetric uses one key to both encrypt and decrypt, and asymmetric uses two keys
Asymmetric encryption is a method of encrypting using a public key, then doing a decryption using a private key. It uses a pair of keys. Symmetric encryption uses one key, the same key is used for encryption and decryption. ***changed wording on correct answer to make it more legible.
