We also talked about a couple of security concepts. Such as: Confidentiality, Cryptography, Encrypt, Decrypt, Algorithm, Key and Digital Certificate.
*
Confidentiality: when he have private or confidential communications, we have communications in which nobody can see what we're doing. With confidentiality it is difficult (nearly impossible) to do sniffing. The data is only visible with people who have permissions to access to it.
*
Cryptography: It is a group of techniques that allow you to encrypt words. With cryptography you can get conifdentiality. Apart from encrypting, you can also decrypt.
*
Encrypt: when you are encrypting, you are modifying the data to make it unreadable/ illegible.
*
Decrypt: this happens when you recover the original text.
*
Algorithm: it is a self-contained sequence of actions to be performed.
*
Key: it is a field that you use to sort data. The keys can have a lenght of 1024 numbers. Depending on which key you are applying, the encryption will result in one way or another.
*
Digital Certificate: it is an algorithm with a key that allows you to guarantee your personality.
Hope you find it useful.
