encryption algorithms
Data scrambling methods
Encryption algorithms are mathematical procedures for encoding information so only authorized parties can read it.
They transform readable data into scrambled ciphertext using keys—strings of characters that lock and unlock the content.
Common types include symmetric algorithms (same key encrypts and decrypts) and asymmetric algorithms (separate public and private keys).
