-## Encryption Algorithms
-OpenPGP (Open Pretty Good Privacy)
-
-Overview:
-OpenPGP is an open standard for the encryption and signing of emails and files, based on asymmetric cryptography. It uses a key pair consisting of a public key and a private key.
-
-Functionality:
-
-Encryption:
-
-The public key of the recipient is used to encrypt the message or file.
-Only the recipient can decrypt the message using their private key.
-Signing:
-
-The sender's private key is used to digitally sign the message or file.
-The recipient can verify the sender's identity and ensure that the message has not been altered.
-Advantages of OpenPGP:
-
-Transparency: The open-source nature increases trust in the technology and security, as the code is auditable.
-Versatility: It can be used for encrypting emails, files, and storage devices, and is compatible with many platforms.
-Long-Term Use: OpenPGP keys can be used for many years.
-Cost-Free: No license fees are required.
-Disadvantages of OpenPGP:
-
-Complexity: Setup and usage can be complicated.
-Compatibility: Not all email clients and file archivers support OpenPGP.
-User-Friendliness: OpenPGP programs are often not very user-friendly.
-Cryptographic Algorithms:
-
-RSA:
-
-RSA is not preferred due to its security but inefficiency in key generation.
-AES-256:
-
-Symmetric encryption algorithm.
-With 256-bit encryption, it is nearly impossible to guess the key.
-More efficient than ECC-256 due to being symmetric.
-Requires prior asymmetric encryption to securely transmit the key.
-ECC-256:
-
-Asymmetric encryption algorithm.
-Very secure due to the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP).
-Security depends on the choice of an appropriate elliptic curve.
-More computationally intensive than AES due to the generation of two keys and more complex mathematical operations.

 Transport Layer Security (TLS):
 TLS is a protocol for encrypting connections at the transport layer, which can be used to secure the connection itself, while OpenPGP encrypts the data within that connection.
