Cryptography is the practice of protecting communication and data using mathematical methods to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity. It plays a central role in securing everything from web services and load balancers to databases and beyond.

At its core, cryptography falls into three main categories:

• Symmetric key cryptography
• Asymmetric key cryptography
• Hash functions

In today’s digital landscape, cryptography is fundamental to keeping data and communications secure. It provides the tools needed to protect sensitive information, build trust, and support secure digital interactions. As technology becomes more interconnected—and threats more sophisticated—cryptography remains essential to safeguarding the systems we rely on daily.
