Cryptology is the study of codes and ciphers while cryptography is the creating of codes and ciphers.
There are 2 types of cryptography such as: 1- Symmetric-key or Secret key Cryptography 2- Asymmetric-key or Public key Cryptography
Encryption and decryption algorithms are called ciphers in cryptography
Cryptography is basically the process of hiding information in order to protect the sensitive information, data or message from unknown attacks for any reasons. Cryptography actually consists of two terms encryption and decryption. The process in which message is ciphered or encrypted is known as encryption and the process in which message is deciphered at recipients end is known as decryption. And this whole process is known as cryptography. Public keys and private keys are used in the process of cryptography. Cryptography can be seen as symmetric and asymmetric. In symmetric cryptography same key is used for both encryption and decryption while in asymmetric different keys are used for both encryption and decryption. Today Cryptography is used in various fields like ATM, e-banking, IT security, Maths etc.
