A Crash Course in Cryptography
To better understand asymmetric cryptography, you need knowledge of some basic concepts. For those that are not familiar with public-key cryptography, I will provide here a brief, stripped-down introduction to the topic. In asymmetric or public-key encryption there are two main players: the encryption algorithm itself (RSA, ECC, ElGamal, …) and a cryptographic key pair (there […]
