Who can (re)explain public key encryption for me?

Advertisements [?]

An out of town friend explained it to me about 2 years ago and I'm pretty sure I really understood the concept. But I brought it up today at work and when someone asked "How does it work?" I felt like an utter moran. Couldn't even begin to answer....

New wrinkles in the last two years, if PKE has been dropped in favor of some hot new apprach, all related info would be great, too.

Thanks in advance.
