Cryptography is technique of securing information and communications through use of codes so that only
those person for whom the information is intended can understand it and process it. Thus preventing
unauthorized access to information.
These algorithms are used for cryptographic key generation, digital signing, verification to protect
data privacy, web browsing on internet and to
protect confidential transactions such as credit card and debit card transactions.
It is an encryption system where the sender and receiver of message use a single common key to encrypt and decrypt messages. The most popular symmetric key cryptography system is Data Encryption System(DES).
