data encryption
Scrambling digital information
Data encryption is the process of converting information into coded form so that only authorized parties can read it.
Plain text becomes scrambled ciphertext, unreadable without the correct key to decrypt it.
Encryption protects sensitive data—financial transactions, medical records, private messages—from unauthorized access: Make sure your connection uses encryption before entering payment details.
