Cryptographic - IHRIMedia

Relating to the use of cryptographic techniques, such as encryption^[2] and decryption, to secure data^[4] and transactions. Cryptographic hashes Unique digital representations of data generated using cryptographic algorithms, commonly used for data integrity^[1] verification and security^[3].

Defined Terms

1. ↑ data integrity.

Refers to the validity of data and having data that is correct and accurate.

2. ↑ encryption.

The process of using an algorithm to transform information to make it unreadable for unauthorized users. The process of converting plaintext into ciphertext using cryptographic algorithms to protect data confidentiality and integrity.

3. ↑ security.

The protection of information assets through the use of technology, processes, and training.

4. ↑ data.

Numbers, characters, or images in a form which can be assessed by a human or (especially) input into a computer, stored and processed.

Glossary: Asymmetric Encryption
A cryptographic technique that uses two different keys (public and private) for encryption and decryption, providing secure communication and data exchange.
Glossary: Credentials
Information or proof of qualifications, certifications, or authorizations that validate an individual’s identity or attributes. Cryptocurrencies Digital or virtual currencies that use cryptographic techniques for secure transactions, control the creation of new units, and verify the transfer of assets.
Glossary: Cryptographic keys
Mathematical codes or values used in cryptographic algorithms to encrypt or decrypt data and ensure secure communication and transactions.
Glossary: Decryption Key
A cryptographic key used to convert encrypted data back into its original, readable form.
Glossary: Encryption
The process of using an algorithm to transform information to make it unreadable for unauthorized users. The process of converting plaintext into ciphertext using cryptographic algorithms to protect data confidentiality and integrity.
