eScan Data Encryption Awareness

Encryption is the process of encoding information by ensuring the data can be accessed only by authorized users through a unique key. It helps protect the data you send, receives, and store online using a device. The two types of encryption are: ✔ Symmetric Encryption - uses a single password to encrypt and decrypt data ✔ Asymmetric Encryption - uses two keys for encryption and decryption. A public key to encrypt the data and a private key to decrypt the data
