true if the token has an asymmetric key; otherwise, false. Always returns false.
Remarks
Asymmetric keys are used in public-key cryptography, which uses two keys, a public key and a private key, which are related mathematically. The public key is distributed widely, but the private key is kept secret. In public-key cryptography, there is no need to exchange a common key.
