There are different ways to encrypt (scramble) and decrypt (unscramble) information. They generally fall into two buckets:
  1. Symmetric: encryption and decryption keys are the SAME, uses a private key
  2. Asymmetric: encryption and decryption keys are DIFFERENT, uses a private key (metaphorical key) , and a public key (metaphorical lock), every public key only has one private key

With encrypted data, an unauthorized entity will not be able to read your content even if they manage to gain access]]> 2022-09-04 10:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/veko4270/9w5jkorxh6ypx9k5/wish/2281871980 Details of your specific focus with Cryptography focus area veko4270 https://padlet.com/veko4270/9w5jkorxh6ypx9k5/wish/2281873545 While getting to know the basics of cryptography, the methods of encryption concept is something that amazed me. It must be running complicated algos to achieve the end output. Methods such as "Caesar Cipher", "Polyalphabetic Shift Cipher" , "One Time Pad" made me feel interested towards the back end logic of achieving utmost or a perfect secrecy using Cryptography encryption techniques.]]> 2022-09-04 10:04:54 UTC https://padlet.com/veko4270/9w5jkorxh6ypx9k5/wish/2281873545
