+Start from the back of the cipher not the front; if we used and xor function scheme (which is a symmetrical function) we would simply just xor the last block by itself and thus perform the same encryption scheme but in reverse.

+# Asymmetric Key Encryption(Public/Private)
+
+
+Think of a box that we put things inside of:(put simply) 
+
+* Private key: can open the box
+* Public key: can lock the box
+
+Caveats:
+
+Public keys contain a unique signature, which can be used to _sign_ a message. Even though everyone can open the message they also know who locked the box.
+
+Imagine then, lock the box with private key(secure) and sign it with the public key(authorized).
