What is encryption?
It is the conversion of data from a readable format into an encrypted format that can only be read or processed after it has been decrypted. Only the authorised person can decrypt the data and access the information in its original format. There are plenty of methods to encrypt and decrypt data, but the key to success does not lie in the algorithm. The most important thing is to keep the cryptographic key (password) secret, or rather to make sure that only authorised people know it.
Encryption is the basis of data protection and is the simplest and most important way to ensure that information on a computer system cannot be stolen and read by someone who wants to use it for malicious purposes.
So remember to always apply encryption to all your data!
AES is the data encryption standard of today. It is unrivalled in terms of the security and protection it offers.
AES is one of the most trusted systems in the world. It has been widely adopted in multiple industries that require extremely high levels of security. Today, AES libraries have been created for numerous programming languages including C, Java, Javascript and Python. The AES encryption standard is also used by several file compression programmes including WinZip and RAR.
AES is a vital database encryption tool.
