In my previous article/video how does encryption work? I wrote about the principles of encryption starting with the Caesar cipher and following the development of cryptography through to the modern ...

An encryption method for transmitting data that uses key pairs, comprising one private and one public key. Public key cryptography is called "asymmetric encryption" because both keys are not equal. A ...

Over the last decade we meticulously taught ourselves how to collect, store, and process big data. Now, the next challenge is to get rid of this data. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), ...

A private key, also known as a secret key, is a cryptographic key that is used to decrypt or digitally sign data. It is a crucial component in asymmetric encryption algorithms like RSA and ECC ...

I’m going to talk about the security behind Bitcoin addresses and keys, called Public Key Cryptography. This includes SHA256, Random Number Generators(RNGs), Hash Functions, and Elliptic Curve Digital ...

Cryptography secures digital data using algorithms, essential in private secure communications. Cryptos use cryptographic methods like asymmetric encryption and hash functions for transactions.

Encryption is one of the pillars of modern-day communications. You have devices that use encryption all the time, even if you are not aware of it. There are so many applications and systems using it ...

Since ancient times, people have relied on cryptography, the art of writing and solving coded messages, to keep their secrets secure. In the fifth century, enciphered messages were inscribed on ...
