## Content

Cryptography is the science of securing information through encoding. It ensures that data sent over networks is protected from unauthorized access. In cryptocurrencies, cryptography secures transactions and controls the creation of new units. It involves techniques like hashing, which turns data into a fixed-size string of characters, and public-key cryptography, which uses pairs of keys for secure communication. These methods ensure that crypto transactions are safe and that only the intended recipients can access the information.
