Encryption algorithms are essential for protecting sensitive information and
|
|
ensuring secure communication in various domains. They are used for several
|
|
important reasons:
|
|
|
|
* Confidentiality, privacy, and intellectual property protection.
|
|
* Security during transmission or on storage devices.
|
|
* Data integrity, general trust, and authentication.
|
|
|
|
When selecting encryption algorithms, tools, or combinations, you should also
|
|
consider two things:
|
|
|
|
1. No encryption is unbreakable.
|
|
2. The strength of an encryption algorithm is usually measured by the effort required to crack it within a reasonable time frame.
|
|
|
|
For these reasons, as soon as cryptography is included in a project, it is
|
|
important to choose encryption algorithms that are considered strong and secure
|
|
by the cryptography community.
