`
`Definition - What does Encryption mean?
`Encryption is the process of using an algorithm to transform information to make it
`unreadable for unauthorized users. This cryptographic method protects sensitive data such
`as credit card numbers by encoding and transforming information into unreadable cipher
`text. This encoded data may only be decrypted or made readable with a key. Symmetric-
`key and asymmetric-key are the two primary types of encryption.
`
`Encryption is essential for ensured and trusted delivery of sensitive information.

`
`Techopedia explains Encryption
`Symmetric-key encryption uses two secret, often identical keys or codes for computers
`nvolved in message transmission. Each secret key's data packet is self-encrypted. The first
`symmetric encryption algorithm is the Data Encryption Standard (DES), which uses a 56-bit
`key and is not considered attack-proof. The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is
`considered more reliable because it uses a 128-bit, a 192-bit or a 256-bit key.
`
`Asymmetric-key encryption, also known as public-key encryption, uses private and public
`keys in tandem. The public key is shared with computers attempting to communicate
`securely with the user’s computer. This key handles encryption, rendering the message
`ndecipherable in transit. The private matching key remains private on the user’s computer.
`It decrypts the message and makes it readable. Pretty good privacy (PGP) is a commonly
`used public-key encryption system.
