Cryptography Types Explained

The document summarizes different types of cryptography. It discusses symmetric key cryptography which uses a single secret key, public key cryptography which uses a public/private key pair, and hash algorithms which apply a one-way transformation to a message. Specifically, it provides definitions of cryptography terms like plaintext, ciphertext, algorithms and keys. It also explains the differences between symmetric, public key cryptography and hash functions at a high level in 3 sentences or less.

Sub - Information Security

Subject in Charge - Dr.A.V.Nikam


Cryptograph
y The art of secret writing.
The art of mangling information into apparent unintelligibility
in a manner allowing a secret method of unmangling.
Cryptography Definitions

• Messages:
– Plaintext
– Ciphertext
• Ingredients:
– Algorithm(s)
– Key(s)
• Players:
– Cryptographer: invents clever algorithms
– Cryptanalyst: breaks clever algorithms
Cryptography
• Algorithm
• Key(s) = secret value(s)
• OK for good algorithm to be public
• Not OK to use bad algorithm
• “Sunlight is the best disinfectant”
• Algorithm without key does not help unmangle the
information
Types of
Cryptography
• Public Key
• Two keys: public & private

• Symmetric Key (aka “Secret Key”)


• One key: secret (but possibly shared)

• Hash Functions
• No keys
Symmetric Key Cryptography

AKA secret key cryptography


AKA conventional cryptography
Public Key Cryptography

AKA asymmetric cryptography


AKA unconventional cryptography (?)

Public key: published, ideally known widely


Private key (NOT “secret key”): not published
Public Key Cryptography
Hash Algorithms
• Message digests / one-way transformations
• easy to compute a hash value for any given message
• infeasible to find a message that has a given hash
• infeasible to modify a message without hash being
changed
• infeasible to find two different messages with the same
hash
