What is encryption?

Scrambling of information so it cannot be understood without the decryption key

Encryption is the process to convert data to incomprehensible text called cipher text. It is used to avoid unauthorized access to data. The cipher text is converted back to the human-readable data by using key.

Encryption is to make data secure so that it cannot be read by outside sources.

Encryption is converting the readable code to some unreadable thing by using special symbols for the security reasons.

Encryption is a way of securing data; it is done by encoding the data (plain text) into a cipher. This allows for the data to be sent publicly however only those with the correct encryption key will be able to read it.

There are 2 main types of encryption: Symmetric and Asymmetric.

In Symmetric encryption the same key is used to code and decode the data.

In Asymmetric encryption there are 2 keys, one public and one private. If you want to send data to someone you can use their public key to encrypt the data. then when they receive the ciphertext they use their private key to decode the data.
