Why does encrypted data often look like gibberish to unauthorized users?
The purpose of encryption is to make a message/data unreadable to someone who does not have the key to decrypt it, so it is highly likely that encrypted data will appear to be gibberish.
What is a network that transfers private information securely over the Internet of other public network?
That is called a VPN - Virtual Private Network. The basic idea is that information is encrypted before it is sent over the public network.That is called a VPN - Virtual Private Network.

How does asymmetric encryption provide confidentiality?
Asymmetric encryption can provide confidentiality in two ways:1) messages encrypted using the public key of the recipient can only be decrypted using the private key of the recipient - which only the recipient should possess.2) It can be used as part of a negotiation process between two users to establish a temporary shared key through a process such as the following:User A sends a challenge message to user B which is encrypted with user B's public key to initiate secure communications.User B decrypts the message and sends the correct response back to user A encrypted with user A's public keyThe two users are now authenticated to each otherAt this point A can send a proposed symmetric key to B encrypted with B's private keyAll further communications are encrypted via the shared symmetric keyIn this second scenario, the asymmetric encryption only facilitates the establishment of confidentiality via the eventually shared symmetric key by securing the initial negotiations.
What is a secure encryption?
Encryption is a process of translating a message from the Plaintext, into an encoded message, called the Ciphertext. This is usually accomplished using a secret Encryption Key and a cryptographic Cipher. ss of translating a message, called the Plaintext, into an encoded message, called the Ciphertext.

How do you decyrpt the MD5 hash string?
The MD5 hash algorithm is a cryptographic hash function, not an encryption method. A cryptographic hash function converts a message of variable length to a fixed size of 'hash,' usually done to check the integrity and authenticity of the original message, and not transmit the message itself in a unreadable encrypted way. The message is also sent ALONG with the hash, usually to ensure that the original message has not been altered en route. Thus it does not have enough information to actually retrieve the message itself. (although it can if the size of the message is the size of the hash, it is never the case.) Decrypting the MD5 hash string will not yield the information that was used for its creation anyways.
