> Asymmetric crypto clearly is in NPcomplete To be in NP-complete a problem must both be in NP and every problem in NP must have a polynomial time reduction to it. This means that NP-complete is fully contained in NP and in fact smaller if P!=NP. For example P is contained in NP and if P!=NP then no problems in P are in NP-complete.
