INTRODUCTION
 INTRODUCTION
Encryption is the process of converting plain, readable data into a form that is unintelligible
and secure, known as ciphertext. It is used to protect sensitive information from unauthorized
access or interception during transmission or storage. Encryption ensures that even if an
unauthorized person gains access to the encrypted data, they cannot understand or use it
without the corresponding decryption key.

PURP O SE O F E NCRYPT I O N

• Confidentiality: Encryption ensures that only authorized individuals can access and understand the data.
• Data Integrity: Encryption can protect data from being modified or tampered with during transmission or
storage.
• Authentication: Encryption can be used to verify the authenticity of the sender and the integrity of the
data.

• Symmetric Encryption: In symmetric encryption, the same key is used for both encryption and decryption
processes. It is efficient but requires secure key distribution.

• Asymmetric Encryption: Asymmetric encryption uses a pair of keys, a public key for encryption and a
private key for decryption. It provides secure communication without the need for a secure key exchange.
