CRYPTOGRAPHY
Cryptography is a key concept in digital currency that provides security and authenticity in transactions. It involves the use of mathematical and computer techniques to secure the information sent and received. In the context of digital currencies, cryptography plays an important role in protecting user privacy and maintaining the integrity of transactions.
In digital currencies like Bitcoin, cryptography is used for several purposes. First, encryption is used to protect data sent over a network, so that only the intended recipient can read the information. In the context of Bitcoin transactions, this means that transaction details, such as the recipient's address and the amount sent, remain confidential to other parties not involved.
