1. Encryption: The transaction is encrypted using your public key, making it accessible only through the corresponding private key. This encryption ensures the confidentiality of the transaction data.

This part is wrong since there's no encryption involved when creating Bitcoin transaction. There's no confidentiality since the amount, sender address and receiver address are known.
