What Is the Role of Cryptography in Cybersecurity?

Introduction

Cryptography is the backbone of modern Indian digital life — every UPI transaction, WhatsApp message, banking login, and Aadhaar authentication depends on it. Break the crypto = break the country. In 2025, companies pay ₹40–95 LPA for experts who can implement, attack, and defend cryptographic systems. Our 8,000+ students practice real cryptographic attacks and defenses every week in our lab and get placed at top banks, fintechs, and government projects. Master cryptography before criminals do.

Core Functions of Cryptography in Cybersecurity

Function Real Indian Use Case Algorithm
Confidentiality UPI transaction data AES-256-GCM
Integrity Aadhaar e-Sign SHA-384 + HMAC
Authentication Banking app login RSA-4096 / ECDSA
Non-repudiation GST invoice signing Digital Signature (RSA-PSS)

Real Indian Cryptographic Failures (2022–2025)

  • Fintech used MD5 → ₹120 crore fraud
  • Bank stored OTP in reversible encryption → 2 lakh accounts compromised
  • E-commerce used none algorithm in JWT → full takeover
  • Government portal accepted self-signed certificates → MITM attacks
  • Weak RSA-1024 keys cracked in hours
