Security and cryptography are fundamental components in the protection of information in digital communication systems. Security encompasses a broad spectrum of measures and protocols designed to protect data from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. Cryptography, a subset of security, involves the use of mathematical algorithms to encrypt and decrypt data, ensuring that only intended recipients can interpret the information. This abstract explores the principles of security and cryptography, highlighting key concepts such as symmetric and asymmetric encryption, hashing, digital signatures, and cryptographic protocols. It also examines their applications in various domains, including secure communications, data integrity, authentication, and confidentiality. The evolving landscape of cyber threats necessitates continual advancements in cryptographic techniques to address emerging vulnerabilities and enhance the robustness of security systems. Cryptography is closely related to the disciplines of cryptology and cryptanalysis. It includes techniques such as microdots, merging words with images and other ways to hide information in storage or transit. In today's computer-centric world, cryptography is most often associated with scrambling plaintext into cipher text, then back again. Individuals who practice this field are known as cryptographers.
