Crypto algorithms (asymmetric or symmetric) Comparison

ABC Institute of Research has sensitive information that needs to be protected from its rivals. The Institute has collaborated with XYZ Inc. to research genetics but does not want to share other research projects. These other projects must be kept confidential at any cost. ABC researchers are unsure about the form of crypto algorithm (asymmetric or symmetric) to use to protect their intellectual property. Compare these two forms of cryptography. Formulate a possible solution to the problem and describe the advantages and disadvantages of any solution employed.
