A primer around cryptographic key pairs
Have you ever wondered how privacy can be achievable over a communication medium that is owned/operated by a third party? From here on out we will refer to this medium as the internet. We can (and should) assume an attacker could view or manipulate information as that data flows from it’s source to destination [1]. So then you might be asking, how is it possible to have private or even authentic data?HistoryBefore the year 1977 if you were faced with this problem you probably would have had t...
