Crypto in Daily Life
📋 What it is
Cryptography quietly protects everyday things — messages, passwords, online payments, and website security.
🗣️ Coach says
You use cryptography constantly without noticing. The little padlock in your browser means the page is encrypted. Your messages, passwords, and online payments are all scrambled so only the right person can read them.

😲 Whoa!
Every time you see “https” and a padlock, your data is being encrypted and decrypted dozens of times a second — cryptography working silently in the background.
