Cryptographic algorithms are fundamental to encryption, determining the mathematical operations used to transform plaintext data into ciphertext and back. Here’s a deeper look:
Computational Security: Cryptographic algorithms are designed to be computationally secure, meaning it’s practically infeasible for unauthorized parties to reverse-engineer the encryption process without the decryption key.
Common Algorithms: Examples include Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), RSA, Triple DES, and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), each with its own strengths and use cases.
