How Cryptographic Algorithms Keep Your Data Safe

Before sending a password, message, or payment online, a program works in the background to keep your information safe. In this lesson, we'll talk about: -What a method for cryptography! -What it does to change your info from plaintext to ciphertext -It's not the same as asymmetric encryption (AES vs. RSA). -How cryptography is used for secret key sharing, hashing, and digital signatures This is an easy-to-understand guide to one of the most important parts of online safety. Want to find out more? These are some of the movies we have about hashing, digital signatures, and how the internet keeps your information safe.
