Encryption methods
Processes used to encode information to ensure data confidentiality and integrity.
Core Architectures
- Symmetric Encryption: Utilizes a single shared key for both encryption and decryption processes.
- Asymmetric Encryption: Employs a public-private key pair, where the public key encrypts and the private key decrypts.
Quantum Threats and Mitigation
- quantum-computing poses a significant threat to the mathematical foundations of current Asymmetric Encryption standards (e.g., RSA, ECC).
- post-quantum-cryptography (PQC) is a critical research priority aimed at developing algorithms resistant to quantum-based attacks.
