How Do Cryptographic Algorithms Enhance Email Security?
Cryptographic algorithms enhance email security in several ways:
Data Encryption: Converts readable email content into an unreadable format, ensuring that only authorized recipients can access the information. Digital Signatures: Use asymmetric encryption to verify the authenticity and integrity of an email, ensuring it has not been tampered with. Secure Email Protocols: Protocols like S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) and PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) use cryptographic algorithms to secure email communications.
