@Define intuitively a trapdoor function.

trapdoor-function

A function that is easy to perform and difficult to invert, but easy to invert given some extra information.

What is the difference between the public key and the private key?

public-vs-private-key

Public key: Published publicly, used for encryption
Private key: Kept secret, used for decryption

Why is a chosen plaintext attack always possible against an asymmetric key cipher?

asymmetric-cipher-cpa

An attacker can use the public key to encrypt as many plaintexts as they want.
