 Encryption

Encryption means to scramble data in such a way that only someone with a secret code or key can read it. Encryption is the most effective way to achieve data security. To read an encrypted file, you must have access to a secret key or password that enables you to decrypt it. Unencrypted data is called plain text; encrypted data is referred to as cipher text.
