Correct answer: A
Both Assertion A and Reason R are correct. Asymmetric key cryptography involves complex mathematical operations (like prime factorization or elliptic curves), making it computationally intensive and significantly slower than symmetric key cryptography, which uses simpler algorithms. Therefore, Reason R correctly explains Assertion A.
