Encryption and Types

 what is Encryption? 

Encryption is the process in  which the information is converted into secret code that hides the information's true meaning.

                                                            

In computers, encrypted data is called ciphertext(public-key encryption), and the unencrypted data is known as plaintext(secret-key encryption). The method used in encoding and decoding is called encrypting algorithms.

                                            

Importance of Encryption

Encryption plays an important role in securing many different types of information(IT).

• Confidentiality encodes the message's content.
• Authentication verifies the origin of the message.
• Integrity proves the contents of a message have not been changed since it was sent.
• Nonrepudiation prevents senders from denying the sent encrypted message.
