Slide 2: What is Cryptography?
Definition: Cryptography is the practice of securing communication by transforming information into
an unreadable format, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity.
Importance:\n
Protects sensitive data.\n
Enables secure communication.
Visual: Add an icon of a lock or encrypted text.
Slide 3: Goals of Cryptography
Confidentiality: Ensures only authorized parties can access the data.
Integrity: Verifies that data hasn’t been altered.
Authentication: Confirms the sender or receiver’s identity.
Non-repudiation: Prevents denial of sending or receiving data.
Slide 4: Key Concepts
Plaintext: The original readable data (e.g., "Hello").
Ciphertext: The encrypted, unreadable format (e.g., "Xh12@q!").
Encryption: Process of converting plaintext to ciphertext.
Decryption: Reversing ciphertext back to plaintext.
Key: Secret information used in encryption and decryption.
Visual: Simple diagram showing the flow of plaintext → encryption → ciphertext → decryption →
plaintext.
Slide 5: Types of Cryptography
Symmetric-Key Cryptography:
Same key used for encryption and decryption.
Example: AES (Advanced Encryption Standard).
Asymmetric-Key Cryptography:
Uses a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption.
Example: RSA (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman).
Hashing:
A one-way process that creates a unique, fixed-size hash.
Example: SHA-256.
Slide 6: How Cryptography Works
Encryption Process:\n
Plaintext + Key → Ciphertext.
Decryption Process:\n
Ciphertext + Key → Plaintext.
Example:\n
Encrypt: "Hello" → "Xyz12@Q" (Key: "12345").
Decrypt: "Xyz12@Q" → "Hello".
Visual: Diagram of the encryption-decryption process.
Slide 7: Real-Life Applications
Secure Communication: End-to-end encryption in WhatsApp.
Data Protection: Encrypting sensitive files.
Authentication: Passwords and digital signatures.
Blockchain: Securing cryptocurrency transactions.
Visual: Icons or images showing examples.
Slide 8: Popular Cryptographic Algorithms
Symmetric Encryption: AES, DES (outdated).
Asymmetric Encryption: RSA, ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography).
Hashing: SHA-256, MD5.
Visual: A categorized table or flowchart.
Slide 9: Advantages of Cryptography
Protects sensitive information.
Ensures secure online transactions.
Prevents unauthorized access to data.
Slide 10: Challenges of Cryptography
Key management is complex.
Vulnerabilities in outdated algorithms (e.g., DES).
Requires computational power for modern algorithms.
Slide 11: Summary
Cryptography secures communication and protects sensitive data.
Three main types: Symmetric, Asymmetric, and Hashing.
Widely used in applications like messaging, banking, and blockchain.
