Encryption

  1. making your online information unreadable unless you/they have a key

  2. keeping your info safe and secure

  3. 2 types of keys

    • symetric key
      • where each person has a key which is exactly the same.
      • info can be send back and forth, ecrypting and decrypting
      • if a key is lost the risk of criminals acessing your information gets higher and higher
        • not secure enough
    • public key
      • sending info to the person with a key
        • they use it to encrypt/lock the info and sends theirs back
          • Therefore you don't have to share your key with anyone
      • eg) a bank can provide a public key to browser
        • so info sent to the back can be encrypted
          • only the private key can open it
            • more secure and more confidence
