Hey Misty,
I completely agree with your explanation of cryptography. It’s amazing how something rooted in mathematics plays such a vital role in protecting our digital world. I especially like how you pointed out the importance of maintaining accuracy, privacy, and legitimacy, those are the foundations of trust in any system. Encryption, hashing, and digital signatures all work together to create layers of defense that keep data secure, whether it’s personal information, financial transactions, or private communications. It’s fascinating to think about how these techniques quietly operate behind the scenes to keep our information safe every day.
