Day 24: Cryptography Essentials 🔐 | Understanding Plaintext, Ciphertext & Key Types

Day 24 of my 100-Day Cybersecurity Challenge 🚀 Cryptography is the backbone of cybersecurity — from WhatsApp encryption to online banking, everything relies on it. Today we break down Cryptography Basics in a simple, beginner-friendly way. 🔑 What You’ll Learn: • Plaintext vs Ciphertext (what’s really happening) • Symmetric encryption (AES, DES) — one key for both encrypt/decrypt • Asymmetric encryption (RSA, ECC) — public/private key magic • Where you use crypto daily (WhatsApp, SSL/TLS, banking, VPNs) • Why attackers & defenders both need to understand crypto 📌 Watch this before diving into advanced topics like RSA, Hashing, and Password Cracking. 👉 Follow Encrypticle for daily Cybersecurity + Hacking tutorials! ⚡ Watch Next: ▶ Networking for Hackers → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMQycP4EwF0&list=PLz2MXRhS5diMyeaKeEoAfGj0Sp0wmqggw ▶ Linux for Hackers → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOrUcWiEFbY&list=PLz2MXRhS5diPneoNefjOItyorJ67ae88w ▶ Nmap Mastery for Hackers → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOrUcWiEFbY&list=PLz2MXRhS5diPneoNefjOItyorJ67ae88w ✅ Subscribe & hit 🔔 to get daily videos on ethical hacking, bug bounty, and red-team skills.
