DEFINING CRYPTOGRAPHY
Cryptography, or the art of writing in
such a way that only the intended reci-
pient can understand the message, is
almost as old as the concept of writing
itself. Evidence of cryptography can be
seen in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs,
early Roman communications, and
other early writings.
MODERN CRYPTOGRAPHY
Modern cryptographers use various
encryption methods to scramble the
content of messages being sent onli-
ne. These messages can then only be
unscrambled by authorised users who
have the correct keys to de-encrypt the
ciphertext and read the information.
CRYPTOGRAPHY OBJECTIVES
The main objective of cryptography is
confidentiality, preventing unautho-
rised users from deciphering private
messages or extracting personal data.
Cryptography is also used for authen-
tication, integrity and non-repudiation
of messages and data. Cryptosystems
is the term used to describe systems
that use protocols and procedures that
meet some or all of the relevant criteria
of these main four objectives.
As technology advances, cryptography
also evolves to keep up with data pro-
tection against new and more advan-
ced computer systems.

In the modern world, cryptography
most often refers to techniques for pro-
tecting computer-based communica-
tion for data protection.
