Cryptography is a process of encrypting sensitive information using encryption algorithms so that the information that is getting transmitted from one person to another is not being read by an unauthorized person. To protect man-in-middle attack cryptography is used.
Additionally, implementing secure key management practices and using HTTPS with valid SSL/TLS certificates further help prevent data interception and tampering during transmission.
Most web applications use cryptography to protect sensitive information, but weak or improper implementations can make them vulnerable.
Using weak algorithms like BASE64 is a common mistake—though often used for “encryption,” BASE64 is merely an encoding method and can be easily decoded, exposing credentials and sensitive data.
To prevent such risks, developers should use strong encryption algorithms such as AES-256 for data confidentiality and SHA for secure hashing, ensuring that sensitive information cannot be easily decrypted or tampered with.
