Fundamentals of Cryptography

This chapter discusses how information security is the discipline that provides protection of information from intrusion and accidental or incidental loss. It also provides a framework for the protection of information from unauthorized use, copying, distribution, or destruction of data. Cryptography plays a key role in supporting the protection of captured data from prying eyes. It does nothing to actually protect the encrypted data from being intercepted.
