Introduction to Symmetric
Key Cryptography
A deep dive into the core principles, common algorithms, and real-
world applications of this fundamental cryptography method. This
presentation explores the history, advantages, challenges, and future
of symmetric key cryptography.

History of Secret Codes and
Ciphers
1 Ancient Times
Early forms of cryptography used for military and diplomatic
purposes. Julius Caesar's cipher was one of the first known
examples.

2 Medieval Era
Sophisticated ciphers and code books emerged, including the
Enigma machine used by Nazi Germany during World War II.

3 Modern Era
The development of computers revolutionized cryptography. The
rise of symmetric key algorithms like DES and AES.
Core Principles: Same Key for Encryption and

The Achilles' Heel
Securely Sharing
The difficulty of distributing the secret key without
compromising its confidentiality.
