In the previous article, I mentioned the three families of algorithms. In this second part, I had planned to describe symmetric algorithms only. However, it seems to me that it may be useful to know also how works hash algorithms as well as asymmetric algorithms. The goal is not to teach you all about encryption, but to give you a general insight. In addition, it should allow you to choose the best algorithm to solve a specific problem. Let me introduce them...
