Cryptography is a key component of cybersecurity. Encryption supports cybersecurity by concealing data to prevent unauthorized access.
In your journal, write about the foundational components of encryption and concepts of plain and cipher text. Explain what a secret key is, and describe how many of these symmetric keys are used in encryption. Then compare and contrast symmetric and asymmetric encryption.
Your journal entry should be at least two paragraphs long.
