There are a few different kinds of encryptions and the three that I will be covering are Diffie Hellman encryption algorithm, Blowfish, and RSA. Encryptions fall into one of two categories, either the type of encryption is symmetrical or asymmetrical. The first type of encryption that I will be discussing is the Diffie Hellman encryption algorithm which is a public exchange method that shares private keys. This method should not be used over a long time for things like stored data but rather used for short periods of communication. Another type of encryption is Blowfish. This type of encryption is symmetrical encryption. It is free and used for a number of different things like file encryption and password management. It is not always reliable as it can be easily intercepted. RSA or Rivest-Shamira-Adleman it is used for signature verification and decryption. Each one of these types of encryptions are used for specific uses, and they can vary between the types of encryptions. (Mutune, 2025)
