THE ART OF CRYPTOGRAPHY Table of contents What is cryptography? Protocols understanding cryptographic methods math behind encryption What is cryptography? Cryptography involves the hiding or coding of information using keys such that only the intended recipient can view it. It is crucial to encrypt data so that it does not get forged or tampered by any untrusted parties such that the privacy and confidentiality of the messages is kept known only to the sender and recipient. Protocol s There are two types of encryption protocols: SSL TLS Both are encryption protocols for the internet's transport layer help to protect data on webservers and websites. They rely on a set of private and public keys to encode messages into meaningless form so that it cannot be read by anyone who does not know how to decode it. But to use both protocols, a certificate needs to be installed on the server. Example: Have you ever noticed that a webpage address s...
