## About This Project
Here, you'll find:
- **Number theory basics** that power cryptographic algorithms.
- **Ciphers**: Caesar Cipher, Vigenère Cipher, Hill Cipher, and more.
- **Symmetric Cryptography**: DES, AES, and others.
- **Asymmetric Cryptography**: RSA, ElGamal, ECC, and more.
- **Hash Functions**: MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, etc.
- **Quantum Cryptography**: Shor's algorithm and its applications.
- **Digital Signatures** and **Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)**.
- **Steganography**: Hiding messages in images, audio, and more.
Explore detailed explanations and Python examples for each topic.
