Strong encryption protects sensitive communications and stored data.
Strong encryption protects you when you use a smartphone, browse the web, bank online, or send electronic messages to your family and colleagues.
Encryption can also help authenticate your credentials, preventing criminals from impersonating you, viewing your email and photos, or accessing your bank accounts and health data.
Encryption is a mathematical process that scrambles information; it is often used to secure or authenticate sensitive documents. Each use of encryption generates a very long number that is the mathematical solution to the formula and can unscramble the protected sensitive information. This "key" must be kept a secret or anyone who has it will be able to access the information.
