The data is masked -- or scrambled-- using a specific algorithm and rendered illegible for unauthorized third parties. ]]> 2022-03-17 05:54:17 UTC https://padlet.com/beho4796/6ovsxsxsgrhhrb1k/wish/2099426325 beho4796 https://padlet.com/beho4796/6ovsxsxsgrhhrb1k/wish/2099430286 The algorithm that scrambles and encrypts a text is referred to as a cipher that requires a key to unscramble (decrypt).

This method of encryption has been around long before the emergence of digital technology in our current era. For instance, the Roman Caesars' ciphering methods (substitution ciphers) replaced every letter with something else, according to a specific translation. A drawback would be that a key could be possible to reconstruct forensically.

Sophisticated algorithms are used to encrypt sensitive data. Cryptography has overlapping key concepts with cybersecurity itself, specifically with confidentiality and integrity. Confidentiality, since only those rightfully authorized to see a message will be able to, and integrity, because the original message stays intact from encryption to decryption.]]> 2022-03-17 06:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/beho4796/6ovsxsxsgrhhrb1k/wish/2099435624
