In the use of asymmetric keys (use of private-public key pairs). If a service wants to ensure it is no longer their concern (after encryption) that a message would be intercepted what key would they use?

Answer #1

The keys in public key encryption are non-matching but they are mathematically related. One key (it does not matter which) is used for encryption. That key is useless for decryption. Only the matching key can be used for decryption.

The sender should encrypt the message using his private key, so that if anyone intercepts can not figure out the plain text, because key used is private and is only known to the sender.
