What is Cryptography?

Cryptography is the science of protecting information by converting readable text (plaintext) into an unreadable form (ciphertext). Only authorized users with the correct key can convert it back to its original form. It is widely used in banking, messaging apps, e-commerce, military communication, and cybersecurity to ensure confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and data security.

History of Cryptography

Ancient India

Kautilya's Arthashastra described secret communication, coded messages, spies, and intelligence systems.

Roman Empire

Julius Caesar introduced the Caesar Cipher by shifting letters using a fixed key.

World War II

The Enigma Machine was used for encrypted military communication.

Modern Era

AES, RSA, ECC, and Blockchain protect today's digital communication.

Types of Cryptography

Symmetric Encryption

Uses the same key for encryption and decryption.

Asymmetric Encryption

Uses Public Key and Private Key.

Hashing

Produces a fixed-length hash value for data integrity.
