The cryptography algorithms can be categorized as symmetric key cryptography and asymmetric key cryptography.
Cryptography is divided into two vital types: one is Symmetric key cryptography, and other is Asymmetric key cryptography.
Therefore, more sophisticated methods were designed to assure various levels of security, these methods are categorized as: Symmetric Key Cryptography (SKC) and Public Key Cryptography (PKC).
Among the topics are symmetric key cryptography, block ciphering, secure hashing, public key cryptosystems that underpin various internet standards, physically unclonable functions, random number generators, and side channel attacks.
Cryptography can be broadly classified as Symmetric Key Cryptography (SKC) and Asymmetric Key Cryptography (AKC).
