Cryptography
Cryptography Basic Terminology Encryption: cipher plain text and make it into unreadable message. cf) cipher is done by using encryption algorithm and key (which is unique for every cipher) Decryption: reverse of encryption. Symmetric cryptography Same key is used for encryption and decryption. Encryption algorithms for Symmetric cryptography : DES, RC4, AES Asymmetric cryptography Different keys are used for encryption and decryption. Utilizes computational difficulty of large numbers. But how do we know who sent the message ?? Anyone can peek at public key and anyone can argue that the message was from him. This is where digital signature comes into play. Algorithms used in asymmetric cryptography RSA(Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) One of first practical asymmetric cryptograph...
