What are the different types of cryptography?

There are several types of cryptography, including symmetric, asymmetric, and hash functions. Would you like to know more about each?

Yes, please explain symmetric and asymmetric cryptography.

Symmetric cryptography uses the same key for both encryption and decryption, while asymmetric cryptography uses a pair of keys: a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption.

What are some examples of symmetric and asymmetric algorithms?

Examples of symmetric algorithms include AES and DES, while RSA and ECC are popular asymmetric algorithms.

How do hash functions fit into this?

Hash functions create a fixed-size output from input data, ensuring data integrity. They are not used for encryption but for verifying data authenticity.
