Encryption

Encryption is the process of converting plain text or data into a cipher, which is a code that can only be read by authorized recipients who have the key to decode it. Encryption is used to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access and hacking, and is an essential security tool in fields such as finance, healthcare, and government intelligence. Encryption helps ensure data confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity, by preventing unauthorized modification, disruption, and disclosure of information.
