Cryptography Fundamentals: Symmetric, Asymmetric, One-Way Functions, Hashing, and Digital Signatures
From symmetric versus asymmetric encryption to the one-way and trapdoor functions behind RSA and ECC, plus hash functions and digital signatures, this article explains the building blocks of cryptography with primary sources. Part 1 of a three-part series that groups public-key uses into signing, encryption, and key exchange.
