What is Encryption?

Encryption is the process of converting the information or data into a code, this is to prevent unauthorised access. A lot of people use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online.

Why is it important?

Encryption is important as it allows people and business to secure and protect data that you don’t want anyone else to have access to. For example you could securely protect folders that contain information such a emails, chat histories, tax information and credit card number.

Encryption also protects your financial details and passwords when you bank online for example. It also protects your cell phone conversation.

Encryption is the first security barrier which protects against any potential threats, the hackers find it harder to get any information from the business as the text isn’t a plain text its coded, this means the hackers will find it harder to copy the information.

Methods of Encryption

There are two main ways of encryption one method is the Public key (asymmetric) the other is private key (symmetric). They both work in a similar way in the sense that they both allow a user to encrypt data and hide it from others and then decrypt it in order to access the original plaintext.

They have now got strong encryption this is an encryption method that uses a very large number as its cryptographic key. The larger the key, the longer it is to break the code. Today, 256 bits is considered to be strong encryption.
