Cryptographic algorithms

Cryptographic algorithms are broadly classified into two broad categories. They are stated below

1.  Symmetric Encryption and

2.  Asymmetric Encryption

Today’s popular cryptosystems use hybrid combination of symmetric and asymmetric algorithms. Symmetric and asymmetric algorithms were distinguished by the types of keys used for encryption and decryption operations.
