Alguns métodos de criptografia

Abstract

Within the context of designing a digital communication scheme, it is necessary to establish procedures to safeguard the confidentiality of data sent by electronic messages. In this sense, Coding Theory plays a central role. Since its development over the years, it has enabled the advancement of new electronic communication techniques with greater security. In particular, Cryptography that employs elements of Coding Theory has been increasingly employed and used every time a digital message is transmitted, in such a way that only the sender and the legitimate recipient may know its contents. It is within this process that we contemplate some concepts of Elementary Number Theory, which are the basis for the mathematical foundation necessary for the development of elements of Cryptography. Consequently, in this paper, we present some necessary results of the Number Theory to present some cryptographic methods.
