Crypto FAQ: What is cryptography and how is it used?
- Defn: cryptography
[noun: "crypto-" (hidden) + "-graphy" (writing, representation)]
Cryptography is the study and practice of techniques for secure (confidential or private) communication in the presence of third parties, referred to as adversaries in this context, because the latter may intercept and compromise (usually by decoding or deciphering) the secure communication for nefarious purposes. In general practice, cryptography is concerned about designing and analyzing secure communication protocols that thwart adversaries.
