Encryption
| Encryption is a process of transforming readable data into an unreadable format. This is done using an algorithm, which is a set of mathematical rules that can be used to encode or decode data. The most common type of encryption is symmetric-key encryption, which uses the same key to encode and decode data. This key is typically a string of random characters, and is known only to the sender and receiver of the encrypted data. |
