👉 Authentication math is a set of mathematical techniques used to verify the identity of users or systems in digital communication, ensuring secure and trustworthy interactions. It typically involves cryptographic algorithms, such as public-key cryptography, to establish a secure connection and validate identities. The process often includes generating and exchanging cryptographic keys, where a private key is used to sign data or messages, and a public key is used to verify the signature. The mathematical underpinnings rely on complex number theory, modular arithmetic, and discrete logarithms to ensure that only authorized parties can access or modify data. This ensures confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity in digital transactions, preventing unauthorized access or tampering.
