The process of converting data into a coded format to prevent unauthorized access.
Encryption is the process of converting plaintext data into ciphertext using a mathematical algorithm and a key, making it unreadable to unauthorized parties.
| Type | Keys | Speed | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Symmetric | Same key for encrypt/decrypt | Fast | Data at rest |
| Asymmetric | Public + Private key pair | Slow | Key exchange, signatures |
| Hybrid | Both | Balanced | TLS/SSL |
