👉 A cryptographist is a professional who specializes in cryptography and digital security. They are responsible for developing, implementing, and maintaining cryptographic systems and protocols to ensure their security. Cryptography involves the use of mathematics, symbols, and algorithms to encrypt and decrypt information. Cryptographers often work with complex mathematical concepts such as elliptic curves, finite fields, and public-key cryptography. They also deal with issues related to key management, data integrity, and security protocols.
