Cryptography is essential for secure communication.
Symmetric key encryption uses the same key for both encryption and decryption.
The Diffie-Hellman protocol allows two parties to establish a shared secret over an insecure channel.
A type of encryption where the same key is used for both encrypting and decrypting messages, ensuring that only parties with the key can access the original content.
A key exchange algorithm that allows two parties to generate a shared secret over a public channel, based on the difficulty of solving discrete logarithms.
A task that is easy to perform in one direction but difficult to reverse, utilized in cryptographic protocols to establish security.
