Cryptography
The basis for many types of secure transmission over the Internet, cryptography is a constantly changing and evolving field of mathematics that on the Internet refers to the practice of encrypting data for safe transmission. Regular data is coded into a cipher (which looks like scrambled text) then transmitted and deciphered by the receiving party.
