AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a symmetric key cryptography algorithm that is widely used for encrypting sensitive data.

Symmetric key cryptography offers faster encryption and decryption compared to asymmetric key cryptography due to its simpler mathematical operations.

In symmetric key cryptography, the same key is used for both encryption and decryption.

Diffie-Hellman key exchange is a method for securely exchanging a symmetric key between two parties over an insecure channel.

Encryption is the process of converting plaintext into ciphertext using a symmetric key.

Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) is a common mode of operation used in symmetric key cryptography that provides better security compared to Electronic Codebook (ECB) mode.

Decryption is the process of converting ciphertext back into plaintext using a symmetric key.

Brute-force attack is a common attack against symmetric key cryptography where an attacker tries all possible keys until the correct key is found.

Key generation is the process of generating a random symmetric key.

Key distribution center (KDC) is a common method for managing symmetric keys in a secure and centralized manner.

Key management is the process of securely storing and protecting symmetric keys.

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a common symmetric key cryptography algorithm used for encrypting data in transit due to its strong security and efficiency.

Key derivation is the process of deriving a symmetric key from a shared secret.

Public key cryptography can be used to securely exchange a symmetric key between two parties over a public network.

Key wrapping is the process of converting a symmetric key into a form that is more secure for storage or transmission.
