Northrook, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/22/2019 -- Encryption Software uses digital cryptography to limit unauthorized access to business data. Encryption solutions protect the contents of a data object, file, network packet, or application from users lacking the appropriate permissions. These solutions protect both local data and data transmitted over the Internet—data in transit normally uses public key ciphers, while data at rest normally uses symmetric key ciphers. The different types of encryption software include file encryption, email encryption, disk encryption, and network encryption.
