Understanding advanced encryption standard on basic level doesn’t require a higher degree in computer science or Matrix-level consciousness — let’s break AES encryption down into layman’s terms
Hey, all. We know of security of information to be a hot topic since, well, forever. We entrust our personal and sensitive information to lots of major entities and still have problems with data breaches, data leaks, etc. Some of this happens because of security protocols in networking, or bad practices of authentication management — but, really, there are many ways that data breaches can occur. However, the actual process of decrypting a ciphertext without a key is far more difficult. For that, we can thank the encrypting algorithms — like the popular advanced encryption standard — and the secure keys that scramble our data into indecipherable gibberish.
Let’s look into how AES works and different applications for it. We’ll be getting a little into some Matrix-based math — so, grab your red pills and see how far this rabbit hole goes.
Let’s hash it out.
