Cryptography in Web3 is the backbone that ensures security, privacy, and integrity. At its core, hashing functions like SHA-256 create unique digital fingerprints for data, ensuring immutability. Digital signatures, often based on ECDSA, allow users to prove ownership and authenticity without revealing their private keys. Meanwhile, encryption safeguards data in transit, using both symmetric and asymmetric methods to protect sensitive information. These cryptographic primitives are the building blocks of secure communication and transactions in the decentralized web.
