Encryption and decryption algorithms are called ciphers in cryptography


Private key encryption safer than public key?

No, Public key cryptography is safer than Private key Cryptography. In public key cryptography only only one part of key is visible to others.


Cryptography In terms of encryption and decryption?

In cryptography the message is encrypted by the sender and decrypted by the reciver. so, it ensures message security.

How is cryptography used?

Cryptography is basically the process of hiding information in order to protect the sensitive information, data or message from unknown attacks for any reasons. Cryptography actually consists of two terms encryption and decryption. The process in which message is ciphered or encrypted is known as encryption and the process in which message is deciphered at recipients end is known as decryption. And this whole process is known as cryptography. Public keys and private keys are used in the process of cryptography. Cryptography can be seen as symmetric and asymmetric. In symmetric cryptography same key is used for both encryption and decryption while in asymmetric different keys are used for both encryption and decryption. Today Cryptography is used in various fields like ATM, e-banking, IT security, Maths etc.

The combination of a public key and a private key is known as a?

This is known as RSA encryption. Encryption involving a public and private key combination is known as asynchronous cryptography, as opposed to synchronous cryptography. It is also known as public key cryptography. RSA is an algorithm that may be used (but there are others that can be used), in public key cryptography. (A key pair)


What does the word symmetric encryption mean?

The term "symmetric encryption" refers to a form of computerized cryptography that uses a singular encryption key to guise an electronic message so that it can be sent in a secure manner.


18 What system encryption uses the concept of an asymmetric key?

This is known as public-key cryptography, or asymmetric cryptography which is used to secure electronic communication over a network.


Does modern cryptography inherit old cryptography?

Yes, the basic underlying concept is still same . First encryption is done and then to decode the original text decryption is done..
