Cryptography 13

Cryptography. It was a long time ago, but even in the intervening decades, cryptography has not lost its appeal and its role as a key element in cybersecurity. As the technology of encryption has matured and proliferated, cybersecurity now relies almost exclusively on it, and so cybersecurity research has been more focused on cryptography than on encryption.

Cryptography is the key to defending against a wide range of digital attacks, and this has made cryptography one of the most important issues in computer security.

However, there are other key concerns as well. In the 1980s, cryptography faced a number of challenges. Today, the challenges are even greater, so the challenge is even greater. If you ask a cybersecurity researcher what is the biggest threat to cybersecurity, they will probably be able to give you a short list of what they consider the biggest threats. They will likely mention one or more of these challenges:

Inadequate cybersecurity protection, including inadequate cybersecurity awareness and training

Risk of data misuse (and corruption)

Inadequate cybersecurity infrastructure on large, public networks

Security breaches and public disclosures
