🔒 Data Encryption Guide

Data encryption is a critical component of modern cybersecurity practices. This guide provides essential information on securing sensitive data through cryptographic techniques.

🔐 What is Data Encryption?

Encryption transforms readable data into an unreadable format using algorithms. It ensures confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of information.

🔑 Common Encryption Methods

• AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): Symmetric encryption for secure data storage
  
  

  AES Encryption
• RSA: Asymmetric encryption for secure key exchange
  
  

  RSA Algorithm
• SSL/TLS: Encrypts data in transit between clients and servers
  
  

  SSL_TLS

🛡️ Best Practices

1. Use strong encryption protocols (e.g., AES-256)
2. Implement secure key management systems
3. Regularly update encryption algorithms to address vulnerabilities
4. Combine encryption with access controls for layered security
