It matters nothing to me what your conception of being asymmetric is -
I have stated what I understand it to be and I also point out that its
is not normal mathematical terminology or even a jargon word in
mathematics - all of mathematics and especially Algebra is intensely
asymmetric -

It's a technical cryptographic term, and you're right to imply that it's
very recent. The concept didn't (publically) exist before 1976. RSA
came a little later.

youv'e been conned by a salient piece of spin that enates from the RSA
cipher

Wrong. The idea predates RSA, and RSA was never the only asymmetric
system.

- clearly they believed there would never again be even a remote
challenge and they way was clear stake out their own publicity
goalposts that would last for all time.

Nonsense, you're just making that up. RSA was not the only system and
isn't now. RSA is in no way in competition with any symmetric systems
and never has been; there was competition with DSA, and still is
sometimes.

I don't need it - cheers - adacrypt

Yes you do. You use it every time you pay for something over the
internet (it's what ensures that the web server you're communicating
with is the one it claims to be, as well as being involved in generating
the session key for confidentiality). Most likely you use it every time
you check your email or send a usenet article.

You don't think you do because you don't understand what it does.
