Encryption

Türkçe: Şifreleme

A mathematical transformation that makes data unreadable without the correct key.

// EXPLANATION

In symmetric encryption the same key encrypts and decrypts (like AES, which is fast). In asymmetric encryption a public and private key pair is used (like RSA, for key exchange and signatures). Real systems use both together.
