Cryptographic Protocols

Definition

‘Cryptographic Protocols’ are sets of rules and procedures that enable secure communication and data integrity through encryption and decryption. These protocols define how information is transformed into an unreadable format and subsequently restored to its original state, ensuring confidentiality and authenticity. They are fundamental to the security of digital transactions, identity verification, and the operation of decentralized networks. The robustness of these protocols directly impacts the trustworthiness and resilience of the systems they safeguard.
