Frequently Asked Questions

The most common example of data encryption is the use of AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). AES is a systematic encryption algorithm used in applications, file storage, communication systems, and more.

The two types of encryption are symmetric and asymmetric encryption. Symmetric encryption, a single key is used to encrypt and decrypt the data. In asymmetric encryption, a private and public key is used. The public key is used by anyone who wishes to encrypt the data while the private key is used to decrypt the encrypted data.

Some examples of commonly encrypted data are communication data (email, instant messaging, voice/video call), data at rest (folders and databases), data in transit (web or VPN traffic), sensitive information (healthcare records or financial information), and authentication credentials (passwords or tokens)
