Understanding Encryption Types and Keys

Encryption is the process of making information hidden or secretive using keys to create ciphers. There are two main types of encryption: asymmetric, which uses two keys, and symmetric, which uses one key. Cryptography is the study of secret communication methods.

ENCRYPTION

What is Encryption?
➔ A process of making information hidden or
secretive.

➔ Encrypt = En + Crypto
En = Make
Crypto = Hidden/Secret
What is Encryption?
➔ Encryption uses a key to make the information secretive (cipher).

➔ Decryption also uses a key to unlock the cipher and make it


accessible again.

➔ Cryptography is the study or science concerned with secret


communication.
Types of Encryption
➔ Asymmetric Encryption

➔ Symmetric Encryption
The Difference?
➔ Asymmetric uses two different keys for
encrypting and decrypting.

➔ Symmetric uses just one.


Asymmetric Encryption
➔ Rivest

➔ Shamir

➔ Adleman
Symmetric Encryption
➔ Data Encryption Standard (DES)

➔ Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
