Cryptography:

Security and Integrity

Encryption helps in achieving this.

SSL is one such type of protocols. Its two main functions are:

Encryption

Identification

Why SSL exists?

SSL Architecture:

Few terms: Certificate:

- It is used to authenticate the website.

- Issued by Certificate Authority (CA).

- Mainly contains: Public Key Digital Signature

Hashing:

- It is a process that compresses text to a single number.

- Used in a certificate and in SSL handshaking.

Data Transfer:

Asymmetric Data Transfer- Used in handshaking- Two Keys are involved:

Public Key: It is used to encrypt. Private Key: It is used to decrypt.

Symmetric Data Transfer

Used in application data transfer. Same key is used in encryption & decryption.
