Cryptography has been used for thousands of years, ranging from the use of passwords by ancient Greeks to the use of modern encryption technology.
One of the most famous cryptographers in history is Alan Turing, which helped break the German enigma code during World War II.
Modern cryptography utilizes complex mathematical algorithms to encrypt messages.
Encryption generally uses two types of keys, namely public keys and private keys.
In the digital era, cryptography is used to protect sensitive data such as bank information and personal data.
Cybersecurity is a practice to protect computer and network systems from invalid attacks and access.
Cyber attacks can occur in many forms, including malware, phishing, and DDOS attacks.
