Hello everyone!
Today we're going to talk about PGP, a very complex encryption algorithm that can only be cracked by possessing certain things. So, what are these things? What's the purpose of this encryption? And where is it used?
This encryption is a very complex algorithm or encryption whose details are difficult to understand. It's either RSA or ECC. It has a size of approximately 1024 or 4096.
You can also specify an expiration date for this code, preventing anyone else from using it.
What does it look like?

Okay, there are two types:
1- Public code, which can be shared anywhere, whether in messages, conversations with friends, or anywhere else. No hacker can break it or know its contents.
2- Private code. This must be kept secret because it puts you at great risk. Everything encrypted with the public code can be read, thus exposing you to the risk of having your sensitive data compromised.
Note: When creating the code, you will be required to add a password. This is very important because the decryption will be based on that password. It must be very strong and not known to anyone. This encryption is also signed using PGP to confirm that the message or content is indeed from that person.
What is its benefit? To encrypt sensitive data or data that is vulnerable to theft or other issues, so that no one can read its content.
How it works: Simply put, you write your message, then take the public key (available to anyone), insert your message into it, and it will be automatically combined with the code before being published. In general, no one can read it anywhere. Then, someone will take it to a person responsible for the key and open it. They will ask for their password to decrypt it, and thus they will get the message's content.
This key is widely used on the black market, or what is called the dark web and the deep web.
Note: This is a metaphor to say that encryption cannot be broken, but such encryptions or algorithms would take thousands of years to break. (Laughs) You understand them, like quantum computers, of which only one chip has been found so far, at Google, so it's practically impossible.
Note: The RSA and ECC used here are mathematical algorithms used in encryption processes. They are used together, like combining them. It can be said that PGP is a protocol that combines more than one encryption and more than one algorithm.
