UNIT : 3 Basics of Network Security, Internet connection & Sharing
Security methods Encryption : Data encryption software effectively enhances data security by using an algorithm (called a cipher) and an encryption key to turn normal text into encrypted ciphertext. To an unauthorized person, the cipher data will be unreadable. That data can then be decrypted only by a user with an authorized key. Encryption is used to protect the data that you store (called data at rest) and data exchanged between databases, mobile devices, and the cloud (called data in transit). Your encryption keys must be securely managed, including protecting your critical management systems, managing a secure, off-site encryption backup, and restricting access. 'Cryptography' : Definition: Cryptography is associated with the process of converting ordinary plain text into unintelligible text and vice-versa. It is a method of storing and transmitting data in a particular form so that only those for whom it is intended can read and process it. Three types of cryptog
