This document discusses various cryptography concepts such as symmetric and asymmetric encryption, hashing functions, digital signatures, certificates, and iOS code signing. Symmetric encryption uses the same key to encrypt and decrypt, while asymmetric encryption uses different public and private keys. Hashing functions create a unique digest of input data. Digital signatures are used to verify the integrity and authenticity of messages. Certificates are used in asymmetric encryption and contain a public key and identity information signed by a certificate authority. iOS code signing involves signing an app package with a developer identity to ensure it has not been tampered with.
