CRYPTOGRAPHY

In today’s rapid growth of digital communication and electronic data exchange, many of us communicate in cyber space without giving a second thought about security. We exchange a lot of our private information and secrets in cyberspace. Whether we like it or not, our digital footprint is in cyberspace. To be precise, whatever we communicate is often unprotected and open to cyber criminals for manipulation. There is hence an urgent need for modern cryptography to find ways to protect sensitive or confidential information.

Effective encryption and decryption of data hold the key to security in cyberspace. So the problem is that, we need to convert information into an unreadable format so that it can be protected and accessed only those authorized to do so.
