Quantum cryptography is the science of exploiting quantum mechanical properties to perform cryptographic tasks. The best-known example of quantum cryptography is a quantum key distribution which offers an information-theoretically secure solution to the key exchange problem. The advantage lies in the fact that it allows the completion of various cryptographic tasks that are proven or conjectured to be impossible using only classical communication. It is impossible to copy data encoded in a quantum state.

Viruses, worms, and Trojans are types of malware. Viruses propagate by inserting copies of themselves into other programs and spreading when those programs are run. Worms propagate across networks without needing user interaction by exploiting vulnerabilities to transfer themselves to other systems. Trojan horses appear to have legitimate functions but secretly perform malicious actions like unauthorized access. Defenses include antivirus software, firewalls, and patching systems.

Hash functions turns readable data into a random string of fixed length size.
Hashes do not allow someone to decrypt data with a specific key, as standard encryption protocols allow.
Phishing is a cybercrime where targets are exploited by someone posing as a legitimate institution to lure individuals into providing sensitive data such as personally identifiable information, banking and credit card details, and passwords.

CRYPTOCURRENCY REVOLUTIONIZING THE FINANCIAL LANDSCAPE AND SHAPING THE FUTURE...itsfaizankhan091
Cryptocurrency, a digital or virtual form of currency that uses cryptography for security, has revolutionized the financial landscape. Originating with Bitcoin's inception in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, cryptocurrencies have grown from niche curiosities to mainstream financial instruments, reshaping how we think about money, transactions, and the global economy.
The birth of Bitcoin marked the beginning of the cryptocurrency era. Unlike traditional currencies issued by governments and controlled by central banks, Bitcoin operates on a decentralized network using blockchain technology. This technology ensures transparency, security, and immutability of transactions, fundamentally challenging the centralized financial systems that have dominated for centuries.
Bitcoin was conceived as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, aimed at providing an alternative to the traditional banking system plagued by inefficiencies, high fees, and lack of transparency. The underlying blockchain technology, a distributed ledger maintained by a network of nodes, ensures that every transaction is recorded and cannot be altered, thus providing a secure and transparent financial system.
