What is realm data encryption and how does it work?

Realm data encryption is a method used to secure data stored in Realm databases. It uses encryption algorithms to protect sensitive information.

What types of encryption algorithms are commonly used?

Common algorithms include AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) and RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman). AES is widely used for its speed and security.

How can I implement realm data encryption in my app?

To implement realm data encryption, you need to set a key when initializing your Realm instance. This key will be used to encrypt and decrypt your data.

Are there any performance impacts when using encryption?

Yes, there can be a slight performance overhead due to the encryption and decryption processes, but it's often negligible compared to the security benefits.

Can I use realm data encryption for large datasets?

Absolutely! Realm is designed to handle large datasets efficiently, and encryption can be applied without significant performance loss.
