Simple overview of the key qualities of different encryption processes.
Cryptography is how we make digital locks: it allows us to make an action selectively easier for some and harder for others. Instead of mechanical engineering, cryptography uses mathematics to build the locks. And just as we didn’t need to understand the internal mechanics of physical locks, we don’t need to understand the internal mathematics of cryptography to build intuition around it.
Good overview.
