Cryptography

Certificate in Cryptography

Cryptography is the practice and study of techniques for secure communication in the presence of third parties, often referred to as adversaries. It involves encoding and decoding information in such a way that only authorized parties can access and understand it, while unauthorized parties are unable to decipher the encrypted data. Cryptography utilizes algorithms and mathematical principles to ensure confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and non-repudiation of information exchanged between parties, thereby providing a foundation for secure communication and data protection in various applications, including online banking, e-commerce, email encryption, and digital signatures.
Why is Cryptography important?

• Ensures confidentiality of sensitive information by encrypting data
• Maintains data integrity by detecting unauthorized modifications
• Provides authentication mechanisms to verify the identity of parties involved in communication
• Supports secure access control and authorization mechanisms
• Facilitates secure transmission of data over public networks, such as the internet
• Enables secure storage and retrieval of information, protecting it from unauthorized access or tampering
