Securing Sensitive Data with Encryption Algorithms

Encryption is the process of converting plain text into an unreadable form(ciphertext) to protect from unauthorized access.

There are 2 types of Encryptions:

1. Symmetric-Key encryption


2. Asymmetric encryption (public-key encryption)

How encryption algorithms work:

Encryption:

Plain text is input into the algorithm.

The algorithm uses a key to perform a series of complex mathematical operations on the plain text. The output is ciphertext, which is unreadable without the key.

Decryption:

Ciphertext is input into the algorithm.

The algorithm uses the correct …
