Computer File Encryption: Part I

Computer File Encryption : Part I. The sophistication of computer network intruders and computer hackers seem to exponentially grow by the day. In an earlier episode of The Communicator, Jeff, Chris, and Brittany talked about password security, which is one of multiple levels of computer security that should be implemented. In this episode, Jeff and Chris outline the need for File Encryption - the process of transforming information using an algorithm to make it unreadable to anyone except those possessing special knowledge, usually referred to as a key. The reverse process to make the encrypted information readable again is referred to as decryption. In Part II, Jeff and Chris will be talking about file encryption options.
