Abstract

Technology has transformed the way we access and store information, making data retrieval fast and efficient. However, safeguarding this information is critical to prevent unauthorized access. Cryptography, rooted in number theory, plays a vital role in data protection by enabling encryption and decryption processes. This study aims to explore various cryptographic algorithms, examining their mechanisms and effectiveness in securing data. Through a comprehensive review of literature from books, journals, and other sources, this research will provide insights into the strengths and weaknesses of different cryptographic methods. The findings will contribute to enhancing data security practices in the digital age.
