Encryption explained in the simplest way possible is the art of making data illegible, but at the same time making it legible to you and those you trust. You do this with a algorithm a set of instructions you give to a computer, you can then share that algorithm with thse you want to speak with so their computers can reverse the proses you used on your message to make it legible again, this algorithm that can reverse encryption or decrypt is called a key.these algorithms dont relly on the impossibility of a malicious actor intercepting their message, or even that such a actor wont continously try new keys but that even if they intersept the communication they cant find the right key in any resonable amount of time, with many advanced algorithms to find the correct key it would take centuries if not millenia of nonstop computing.

The beautiful thing about these algorithms is two fold, one is their use of pure the logic of math far more than other computer science consepts making theyre beauty recognizable to anyone well versed in either computer science but also mathematics. As seen above given these algorithms inherent foolproof nature theyre one of the only ways truth can be definitively assertained in our world, this amazing hiden power of the encryption algorithm will be expanded on later when discussing why exaclty they are so important, till then learn how they work in this following page...
