Cryptography is the practice of using techniques to send messages securely so that only the intended recipient can read them, even if others try to intercept the communication. It matters because it helps protect private information from being read by unauthorized people or adversaries who might try to access it.

Kryptographie bzw. Kryptografie (altgriechisch κρυπτός kryptós, deutsch ‚verborgen‘, ‚geheim‘ und γράφειν gráphein, deutsch ‚schreiben‘) ist ursprünglich die Wissenschaft der Verschlüsselung von Informationen. Heute befasst sie sich auch allgemein mit dem Thema Informationssicherheit, also der Konzeption, Definition und Konstruktion von Informationssystemen, die widerstandsfähig gegen Manipulation und unbefugtes Lesen sind.
