Privacy and Confidentiality

Differences


Privacy: Basically the term privacy refers to keeping your information yours or limiting it to close family or your friends or your contacts, 

Whereas on the other hand, 

Confidentiality: talks about that a subjects information will stay a secret but this time from the perspective of the person receiving that information. 


For example: on any social media platform we tend to share our information to limited or specific people or groups that is a matter of privacy concerns, but the same when it is about our passwords, our biometrics, our messages ,ATM pins, CVV these are all confidential information.

These are some basic terms but play a vital role in our everyday lives , we all need privacy we don't want anyone sniffing our day to day activities we all want our space and that's the reason why being secure not just online but offline too is needed. Because privacy is not just  what we demand for its a right we all have. #RightToPrivacy

Cryptography . . .   C ryptography the use of codes or ciphers to protect the secrecy of a message or data or any short of communication between two parties or a group of people.The history of cryptography began way back in the medieval period where messages were carved in caves in a way that it was readable to only those who had access to the codes or who knew what those symbols mean. Cryptography has traveled a long journey from   Classic Cryptography   using pen and paper to solving complex mechanical encryption such as the Enigma Rotor Machine .  How Cryptography works? T he modern cryptography or encryption over data is achieved by using algorithms ( cryptographic algorithms are designed to convert letters or numbers or words or any kind of data into an encrypted/decrypted form using a specific key ) . In this algorithm method ,the sender has an algorithm the sender feeds some data to the encryption algorithm as an input and then the sender sets...
