Encryption Techniques and Methods

Encryption method that uses the same key for both encrypting and decrypting data.

Symmetric key encryption

Encryption method that uses different keys for encrypting and decrypting data.

Asymmetric key encryption

System that allows secure exchange of encrypted data without prior key exchange by using public and private key pairs.

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)

Encrypted data block created using a private key to verify the integrity and authenticity of data.

Digital signature

Encryption protocol that combines symmetric and asymmetric key encryption for secure data transmission.

Transport Layer Security (TLS)

Asymmetric key creation method that utilizes the algebraic structure of elliptic curves for stronger encryption.

Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)
