Cryptography

Cryptography is a field of study within computing that focuses on secure communication techniques, enabling computer networks to operate transparently and verifiably. In the context of blockchain technology, cryptography often involves the use of asymmetric encryption, such as public-key cryptography, and other specialized encryption frameworks to secure data exchange within distributed systems. Cryptography encompasses the study and analysis of computing protocols and systems to prevent malicious activities. It encompasses practices such as data confidentiality, authentication, and data security, playing a vital role in modern cryptography practices.
