Abstraction

waylonfarmer98 — 2024-03-27 14:19:33 UTC

Abstraction is basically just reducing clutter in code, you simplify repeating code by using functions or naming things differently

Binary

waylonfarmer98 — 2024-03-27 14:21:29 UTC

This is the coding language of all languages. to define this easier, a computer is a machine running on a CPU, this cpu has little microscopic gates that allow electric signals to go through, and each electric gate/signal either represents a 0 or 1. So with the power of memory you can make each 1 or 0 mean something and complete a task.

asymmetric encryption

waylonfarmer98 — 2024-03-27 14:35:46 UTC

Asymmetric encryption; (If I had to dumb this down to its absolute lowest)

imagine a special lock with two keys: a public key and a private key. Anyone can get the public key, like a key for a mailbox. But the private key is secret, like your house key.

So people using your encrypted message service while using your servers still stay safe
