🧠 How well do you #KnowYourTech ?Have you ever thought of how our personal information is protected and kept secure when withdrawing money from an ATM and buying something online? 🤔

That’s where encryption comes in! It is the method by which information is converted into secret code that hides its true meaning.

It also provides:
👉🏻 Authentication: verifies the origin of the message
👉🏻 Confidentiality: encodes the message’s content
👉🏻 Non-repudiation: prevents senders from denying they sent the encrypted message
👉🏻 Integrity: proves the contents have not been changed since it was sent
