Encryption

How does encryption work?

- Scramble the data to “encrypt” it
- Use key to unscramble data (decrypt)
- Plaintext is what you would call the message within the encryption.
- Cipher text is what you would call the encrypted message (unreadable).
- Encrypted messages can be hacked throughout time with the right technology

How does encryption protect privacy?

- Turns you data into “your eyes only” messages
- For example, emails you send, the plaintext can only be read by you and the recipient.
- The purpose of encryption is to provide data confidentiality
- Encryption and privacy work together

How does cryptocurrency use encryption?

- Relying on modern asymmetrical encryption methods
- Blockchain's/hashing techniques
- Private keys for cryptocurrency owners to verify they are the owners

Question

- STILL NEED TO ADD INFO ABOUT BLOCKCHAIN/HASHING AND ABOUT DARK WEB, ALSO ABOUT KEYS.
