A cryptographic certificate or digital certificate is a type of credential that is included with a public key to ensure that the key belongs to a specific user.

Types of Cryptography

Types of Cryptography

Cryptography is a term used to describe the encryption of communication between two independent systems and usually refers to the communication between a client computer and a server. Cryptography generally consists of a cipher, a public key, and a private key, but may also depend on certificates and hash functions for additional security.

Biometric Cryptography

Biometric Cryptography

Biometric cryptography is a type of cryptography that protects systems from unauthorized users by scanning the user’s biometric information and comparing it to information it already has stored on file. It then uses that information as a private key in order to decrypt encrypted information.
