This paper looks at the need for computer encryption systems and then provides an explanation and description of the two categories that most computer encryption systems fall under. The limitations of these encryption systems and some of the problems associated with them are also detailed.

From the Paper:

"Computer encryption is based on the science of cryptography (Tyson, 2000), which has been used since the days of the Roman Empire. Prior to the technological age, the governments used cryptography for military purposes. The existence of coded messages dates back to the Roman Empire. However, most forms of modern cryptography are based on computers, simply because a human-based code is relatively easy for a computer to crack."
