Encryption It is a process of changing or converting normal text or data information into gibberish text. Decryption It is a process of changing or converting gibberish text back to correct message or data by using encryption method.
Categories of Cryptography
10
A single common encryption key is used to encode and decode messages. Both sender and receiver must know the common key.
Symmetric encryption is simple and fast. But - key management is impractical with large number of senders and receivers.

Asymmetric-key Cryptography
Asymmetric system under, which two different keys are used to encrypt and decrypt the message or received data packet.
On public key is used to encrypt the data or message and the private key on receiving end is used to decrypt the message or data packet.

Asymmetric-key Cryptography
Advantages
Public-key cryptography Increased security and convenience.
Public-key cryptography is best suited for an open multi-user environment. Symmetric encryption is simple and fast.
Conclusion
cryptography = physics + Information theory Information is physical. Information gain implies disturbances.
