Cryptography is art and science about maintaining communication security by changing original writing into a secret code.
Although modern technology has facilitated the use of cryptography, this technique has existed since thousands of years ago.
One of the most famous cryptography techniques is Sandi Caesar, which is used by Julius Caesar to send secret messages.
During World War II, a group of mathematicians and famous computer scientists compiled secret codes to help the Allied forces win the war against Germany Nazi.
One famous example of Codebreaking is when Alan Turing managed to dismantle the German Enigma code, which allows allied forces to understand enemy movements.
Cryptography is also used in daily life, such as when we use a credit card to shop online or make banking transactions.
There are many different types of cryptography, including symmetrical cryptography and asymmetrical cryptography.
Cryptography is also used in developing computer security systems, such as firewalls and data encryption.
One way to improve cryptography safety is to use a longer and stronger key.
Cryptography continues to grow and become increasingly important in the increasingly connected digital world.
