What is Cryptography?
Cryptography is used to secure and protect data during
communication. It is helpful to prevent unauthorized
person or group of users from accessing any
data. Encryption and decryption are the two confidential
functionalities of cryptography. essential

network is transformed into an

KEY DIFFERENCE

Encryption is a process of converting normal data into an unreadable form whereas


Decryption is amethod of converting the unreadable/coded data into its original form.
" Encryption is done by the person who is sending the data to the destination, but the
decryptionisdone at the person who is receiving the data.
" The same algorithm with the same key is used for both the encryption-decryption
processes.

" Helps youto protect your confidential data such as passwords and login id
" Provides confidentiality of private information
" Helps you to ensure that that the document or file has not been altered
Encryption process also prevents plagiarism and protects IP
" Helpful for network communication (like the internet) and where a hacker can easily access
unencrypted data.
" It is an essential method as it helps you tosecurely protect data that you don't want anyone
else to have access.

Types of Keys
SymmetricKey
Symmetric-key encryption are algorithms which use the same cryptographic keys for both
encryption of plaintext and decryption of ciphertext.
Asymmetric Key
Asymmetric encryption uses 2 pairs of key for encryption. Public key is available to anyone while
the secret key is only made available to the receiver of the message. This boots security.

Public Key
keys
Public key cryptography is an encryption system which is basedon twopairs of keys. Public
are used to encrypt messages for areceiver.

Private Key
Private key may be part of a public/ private asymmetric key pair. It can be used in asymmetric
encryption as you can use the same key to encrypt and decrypt data.

Pre-Shared Key
between the
In cryptography,a pre-shared key (PSK) is asharedsecret which was earlier shared
two parties using a secure channel before it is used.
