OpenSSL Version

encryption for:
- data
- communication
- traffic
- secret
- signing

plain --> cipher

Types of encryption
Symmetric encryption ==> Same key for encrypt/decrypt
 Algorithms examples:
 - AES
 - DES
 - Triple DES
 - Serpent
 - Twofish

Asymmetric encryption ==> different key for encrypt/decrypt
 Algorithms examples:
 - RSA
 - DSA
 - PGP
 - SHA-1
 - SHA-2
 - SHA-24
 - SHA-256
 - SHA-512
