Introduction to cryptographic primitives
Cryptographic primitives are the building blocks of cryptography. They are algorithms and protocols used to protect data and communications. Examples of cryptographic primitives include symmetric and asymmetric encryption, hashing algorithms, digital signatures, and key exchange protocols. These primitives are used to implement security protocols that provide authentication, confidentiality, integrity, and non-repudiation. Cryptographic primitives are essential for secure data transmission and storage, and are used in a variety of applications such as secure web browsing, email, and online banking.
