Cryptography- Part 4 Hashing Hash functions are primarily used to provide integrity. Hashing and cryptography have a very close relationship. A one-way function ensures that the same key can’t encrypt and decrypt a message in an asymmetric key system. A one-way function’s purpose is to ensure confidentiality. A one-way hashing algorithm produces a hashing [...]

Cryptography- Part 2 Asymmetric Cryptography / Public Key Cryptography In this method, two keys are used: Private Key: This key is only known by the owner itself. Public key: This key is issued by using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) where a trusted Certification Authority (CA) certifies the ownership of key pairs. Only the private [...]
