Cryptography

2. - Encryption that uses two different keys, one for encryption and one for decryption.
3. - A method where one party proves they know something without revealing it.
5. - A method used to encrypt and decrypt information.
6. - Adding random data to passwords before hashing to increase security.
7. - A digital ledger of transactions that is secure and decentralized.
9. - The practice of hiding data within other non-secret data.
12. - The process of converting encrypted data back into its original form.
13. - Advanced Encryption Standard, a secure symmetric encryption technique.
15. - A widely used asymmetric cryptographic algorithm.
