Data encryption technology focuses on securing sensitive information through encryption and tokenization. It is designed to protect data both at rest (when stored) and in transit (when being transmitted).
Data encryption provides a comprehensive approach to data security, ensuring that sensitive information remains protected while still being usable and accessible for legitimate purposes.
Encryption services use mathematical algorithms (e.g., AES, RSA) to convert plaintext data into ciphertext, making it unreadable to unauthorized users.
The encryption process requires keys to encode and decode data. Effective key management ensures that keys are securely stored, rotated, and protected from unauthorized access.
Data is encrypted before being transmitted and can only be decrypted by the recipient with the appropriate key. This ensures confidentiality and integrity during transmission.
