CRYPTOGRAPHY
Cryptography is the science of encryption, the technique that allows parties to communicate over a secured connection. It ensures that the data transferred by the sender is only to be received by the intended recipient and that the transferred data cannot be intercepted and retrieved by unintended third parties. Cryptography is the foundation behind blockchain technology, allowing users to transact with each other over a decentralized network.
