Krüptograafilises

Krüptograafilises refers to cryptographic, relating to or involving cryptography. Cryptography is the practice and study of techniques for secure communication in the presence of third parties called adversaries. More formally, it is the process of transforming information into a secure form that can only be read or deciphered by authorized parties. This transformation is known as encryption. The reverse process, which converts the encrypted information back into its original form, is called decryption.

The fundamental goal of cryptography is to ensure confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and non-repudiation. Confidentiality means that only intended recipients can understand the information. Integrity ensures that the information has not been altered or tampered with. Authentication verifies the identity of the sender or receiver. Non-repudiation prevents a sender from denying that they sent a message.

Cryptography has a long history, with early methods like Caesar ciphers used by Julius Caesar for military communication. Modern cryptography relies heavily on complex mathematical algorithms and computational power. There are two main types of cryptographic systems: symmetric-key cryptography and asymmetric-key cryptography (also known as public-key cryptography). In symmetric-key systems, the same key is used for both encryption and decryption. In asymmetric-key systems, a pair of keys is used: a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption.

Applications of cryptography are widespread in today's digital world, including secure online transactions (SSL/TLS), digital signatures, virtual private networks (VPNs), secure messaging apps, and blockchain technologies. The ongoing evolution of computing power and algorithmic advancements continues to drive research and development in the field of cryptography to maintain robust security in an ever-changing landscape.
