The assignment details a comparison of two popular encryption techniques, Triple Data Encryption Standard (Triple DES) and Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA). It discusses how Triple DES encrypts data three times using three keys, making it more secure than regular DES. On the other hand, RSA uses public-key and private-key pairs to ensure secure data transmission. The report concludes that both techniques are effective in protecting confidential information, but require expertise knowledge in cryptography to be implemented securely.
