Types of Encryption, Methods & Use Cases

eSecurity Planet

Encryption scrambles data to make it unreadable to those without decryption keys. Proper use of encryption preserves secrecy and radically lowers the potential damage of a successful cybersecurity attack. Encryption algorithm types will provide an overview of the mathematical algorithms used to encrypt data (AES, RSA, etc.),

Identity-based Cryptography

Thales Cloud Protection & Licensing

out of 5 stars on Chrome web store, 9 out of 10 pairs of participants failed to complete the assigned task of exchanging encrypted emails, i.e. 90% failure rate. The most common mistake that repeatedly occurred in all of these studies [13,14,15] was to encrypt a message with the sender’s public key. This type of scheme (e.g., [8,9])
