A study on hybrid cryptosystem: Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) / Hilmi Harun

Recent advances in computing power and recent interest in this privacy issue have led to the development of techniques to store sensitive information by using mathematics to encrypt and decrypt data. This technique enables us to store sensitive information or transmit it across insecure networks lik...
