Abstract
With the rise of the World Wide Web and the proliferation of e-commerce platforms and social networks, organizations worldwide are generating vast volumes of data on a daily basis. Ensuring the secure transmission of this data over the internet has become a paramount concern, making information security a fundamental issue. Additionally, as society transitions into the digital information age, network security has gained increasing importance. With a growing number of users connecting to the internet, the threat of cyberattacks has intensified. Consequently, safeguarding computer and network security has become imperative, addressing critical issues in the process. Malicious nodes in the network pose a significant challenge, as they can exploit the resources of other nodes while also protecting their own assets. This paper aims to provide an overview of network security and explore various techniques for enhancing it, particularly focusing on cryptography.
