How does encryption technology enhance data privacy?

Encryption technology secures data by converting it into a coded format, making it unreadable without the correct key.

What are the different types of encryption methods?

There are several types, including symmetric encryption, asymmetric encryption, and hashing. Each serves different purposes.

Can you explain symmetric and asymmetric encryption?

Sure! Symmetric encryption uses the same key for both encryption and decryption, while asymmetric uses a pair of keys: a public key and a private key.

How does encryption protect my personal information online?

Encryption protects your personal information by ensuring that even if data is intercepted, it cannot be read without the decryption key.

Are there any limitations to encryption technology?

Yes, limitations include potential vulnerabilities in key management and the fact that encryption can be resource-intensive.
