Encryption

Encryption is converting plain text into a coded message to protect it from unauthorized access. It is a key component of information security and is widely used to secure sensitive data, such as financial transactions, personal information, and communication over the internet. Encryption uses mathematical algorithms and a secret key to encode data, and the recipient uses the same key to decode it. There are various encryption algorithms, each with different strengths and weaknesses, and the choice of algorithm depends on the specific security needs and requirements.
