Cryptography Basics Session 1

Welcome to Session 1 of Cryptography Basics. In this session, we embark on an exciting journey into the world of encryption and cryptography, uncovering the fundamental concepts that underpin secure communication and data protection.

As technology continues to evolve, the need for secure and confidential information exchange has never been more critical. In this session, we will delve into the very essence of encryption, exploring its significance in safeguarding sensitive data against prying eyes and unauthorised access. We will address the pivotal question of why encryption is an indispensable tool in today’s digital landscape, and we will also demystify the often misunderstood distinction between encryption and cryptography.

Prepare to unravel the secrets behind these vital aspects of information security as we lay the foundation for a better understanding of cryptography. By the end of this session, you’ll not only grasp the core principles at play but also recognise the broader context in which encryption and cryptography function to protect the integrity and confidentiality of data.

Let’s embark on this enlightening journey together and equip ourselves with the knowledge to navigate the intricate world of cryptography with confidence.
