Cryptography is the practice of securing communications and information by converting it into an unintelligible form called cipher text. The main goals of cryptography are confidentiality, integrity, and authentication. There are two main types of cryptography - secret key cryptography which uses a single key for encryption and decryption, and public key cryptography which uses two separate keys. Popular cryptographic algorithms include those for public/private key cryptography and hash functions.

Index Introduction What is Cryptography? Purpose Of cryptography Architecture of cryptography Types of Cryptography Process of cryptography Types Of cryptography Algorithms Attacks of cryptography Conclusion References INTRODUCTION The Internet or the global Internet is the internationally connected network of computer networks with addresses that are administrated by IANA (Internet address and Naming Authority). There are many aspects to security and many applications, ranging from secure commerce and payments to private communications and protecting passwords. One essential aspect for secure communications is that of cryptography.
What is Cryptography? Cryptography derived its name from a Greek word called “krypto’s” which means “Hidden Secrets”. Cryptography is the practice and study of hiding information. It is the Art or Science of converting a plain intelligible data into an unintelligible data and again retransforming that message into its original form. It provides Confidentiality, Integrity, and Accuracy.
PURPOSE OF CRYPTOGRAPHY Authentication: The process of proving one's identity. (The primary forms of host-to-host authentication on the Internet today are name-based or address-based, both of which are notoriously weak.) Privacy/confidentiality: Ensuring that no one can read the message except the intended receiver. Integrity: Assuring the receiver that the received message has not been altered in any way from the original. Non-repudiation: A mechanism to prove that the sender really sent this message. Architecture of Cryptography
Types of Cryptography Secret Key Cryptography • Single key used to encrypt and decrypt. • Key must be known by both parties. • Assuming we live in a hostile environment (otherwise - why the need for cryptography?), it may be hard to share a secret key.
Public Key Cryptography One of the keys allocated to each person is called the "public key", and is published in an open directory somewhere where anyone can easily look it up, for example by email address. Each entity has 2 keys: Private Key (a secret) Public key (well known). Using Keys Private keys are used for decrypting. Public keys are used for encrypting.
Process of cryptography
TYPES OF CRYPTOGRAPHIC ALGORITHMS Public/Private Key Cryptography Asymmetric key cryptography overcomes the key management problem by using different encryption and decryption key pairs. Having knowledge of one key, say the encryption key, is not sufficient enough to determine the other key - the decryption key.
The mathematical relationship between the
public/private key pair permits a general rule: any message encrypted with one key of the pair can be successfully decrypted only with that key's counterpart. Hash functions Is a type of one-way function this are fundamental for much of cryptography. A one way function - is a function that is easy to calculate but hard to invert. It is difficult to calculate the input to the function given its output. The precise meanings of "easy" and "hard" can be specified mathematically. With rare exceptions, almost the entire field of public key cryptography rests on the existence of one-way functions. Attacks of Cryptography
Cipher text only attack
The only data available is a target cipher text
Known plaintext attack
A target cipher text Pairs of other cipher text and plaintext (say, previously broken or guessing) Attacks of cryptography…
Chosen plaintext attacks

We use either private key cryptography or public key cryptography according to requirement. If we want to send message quickly we use private key algorithm and if we want to send messages secretly we use public key algorithm. References www.researchgate.net www.swayam.com www.wikipedia.com
