This paper discusses the significance of cryptography in protecting data from network attacks, focusing on symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods. It explains how symmetric encryption uses a single key for both encryption and decryption, while asymmetric encryption utilizes a pair of keys—public and private. The paper reviews various encryption algorithms such as AES and DES, highlighting their respective strengths and weaknesses.
