Symmetric Cryptography
This is the simplest kind of Cryptography that involves only one secret key to encrypt and decrypt information . It is also known as “Secret Key Cryptography”. Both Sender and receiver should know the key to be able to communicate securely. For Example: if Mahesh & Shalini wants to communicate using symmetric-key cryptography then both would have to devise key and use it for every communication. So Now, Mahesh encrypts his message using shared key, sends encrypted message to Shalini , then Shalini uses the same key again decrypt message to read. To demonstration symmetric-key cryptography , I will use AES ( Advanced Encryption Standard ) & .Net Framework in-build library “ System.Security.Cryptograph ” Output:
