About Cryptography and Network Security

In computer science, the term "cryptography" refers to safe information and communication methods that use mathematical principles and a system of computations based on rules, or "algorithms," to change messages in ways that are challenging to read.

Why is Cryptography and Network Security important?

Data integrity is guaranteed by cryptography employing message digests and hashing methods. The receiver is ensured that the data received has not been tampered with during transmission by supplying codes and digital keys to confirm that what is received is real and from the intended sender.
