What is encryption?
Rating:
Encryption is the process of converting plain text data into something that is meaningless and unreadable by a user. It is used to protect data contents from unauthorized users. This process depends mainly on the techniques of hashing and signing data. The encrypted data is sent over the network and is then decrypted or deciphered at the other end of the communication protocol.
