is the method to convert information into secret code that hides the information's true meaning. There are two main types of data encryption; asymmetric encryption, also known as public-key encryption, and symmetric encryption. Modern encryption algorithms providing confidentiality and drive key security initiatives including authentication, integrity, and non-repudiation, has replaced the outdated data encryption standard (DES) - Authentication allows for the verification of a message’s origin - Integrity provides proof that a message’s contents have not changed since it was sent - Non-repudiation ensures that a message sender cannot deny sending the message.“
