Summary
Encryption is a way of scrambling data so that only authorized parties can understand the information. It requires the use of a cryptographic key, which is a set of mathematical values that both the sender and the recipient of an encrypted message agree on. Data encryption is necessary for privacy, security, data integrity, and regulatory and compliance standards, and is used to keep Internet browsing secure with HTTPS.
