Symmetric Encryption vs Asymmetric Encryption

Symmetric Encryption works by encrypting a message file by using a private key. The content can be decrypted using the same private key. If both the parties have the same key then only the message can be encrypted/decrypted.
Asymmetric Encryption works with the public key and private key combination.Any message/file encrypted using a public key can only be decrypted using the related private Key. Similarly the message which is encrypted using a private key key can only be decrypted using the related public key.

Digital Certificates is  a way of storing the keys and authenticating them through a neutral vendor, like Thawte, Symantec.

HashMap in Java

1) Implement HashMap in Java, with the put and get operations   HashMap can be implemented in Java Using Arrays. Use the same logic that the Out of the Box   HashMap follows, for resizing, and load factor, when ever the HashMap reaches the size of the   resize with the load factor a new Array is created, and the previous array contents are copied over   to the new Array.  HashMap is Not Synchronized by default. We can synchronize the whole map by using Synchronization, or by using collection.synchronizedmap(map), which synchronizes all the operations on the map. Alternatively We can use the CocurrentHashMap which does not lock the read operations, rather locks the segments that are being written. 2) HashMap vs LinkedHashMap vs IdentityHashMap 3) HashMap vs ConcurrentHashMap 4) Implement a Cache using LinkedHashMap
