Cryptographic algorithms

There are three main types of cryptographic algorithms: (1) secret key, (2) public key, and (3) hash functions. Pick an algorithm for any one of these types (e.g., DES, AES, RSA, MD5) and describe how it works and where it is applied (For example SSL uses 3DES or DES) for message encryption. Use your own words. When you pick an algorithm, try not to repeat. Be sure to reference your sources.

Cryptography is the process of learning and constructing techniques that secure communication especially where third parties are involved. It usually concentrates on the construction of protocols involved in preventing private messages from being read by the public (Schneier, 2015). Public key is a type of cryptographic system which uses pairs of private and public keys that are only known by the owner. Using a public key facilitates the authentication of origin of a message from the…..
