Cryptography and Encryption in Computer Science - A comprehensive exploration of encryption methods, security protocols, and cryptographic techniques used to protect sensitive information.
- Kryptographie originates from Greek words "kryptós" (hidden) and "gráphein" (write), forming a crucial branch of computer science focused on information security
- Modern Verschlüsselungsverfahren (encryption methods) include symmetric, asymmetric, and hybrid approaches
- Key objectives include maintaining confidentiality, data integrity, and controlled access to information
- Advanced encryption techniques like Vigenère cipher and One-Time Pad provide enhanced security through complex substitution methods
- Asymmetrische Verschlüsselung revolutionized secure communication through public-key cryptography
