 ## Asymmetric encryption
 
 Asymmetric encryption is a fundamental type of cryptographic method used to secure data with a pair of keys: a **public key** and a **private key**.
 
-The public key is used for encryption and can be shared openly, while the private key is used for decryption and must be kept secret. This design eliminates the need to share a single key securely, which is a challenge in symmetric encryption.
-
-Asymmetric encryption is particularly well-suited for secure communication and authentication, such as encrypting emails or verifying digital signatures. However, it is slower than symmetric encryption. Algorithms like RSA and ECC are common examples of asymmetric encryption.
-
-As of now, Key Manager supports the following asymmetric encryption algorithms:
-
-- RSA-OAEP-2048-SHA256: RSA encryption with 2048-bit key and OAEP padding using SHA-256.
-- RSA-OAEP-3072-SHA256: RSA encryption with 3072-bit key and OAEP padding using SHA-256. (recommended)
-- RSA-OAEP-4096-SHA256: RSA encryption with 4096-bit key and OAEP padding using SHA-256.

 ## Cryptographic primitives in Scaleway Key Manager
 
 This page provides information on the core cryptographic mechanisms used by Key Manager. It explains how cryptographic keys are generated, managed, and used to encrypt data. Key Manager uses these mechanisms in compliance with the cryptographic guidelines issued by [France's national cybersecurity agency](https://cyber.gouv.fr/), as outlined in the ANSSI-PA-079 recommendations, to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of customer data.
