Encryption sounds powerful and somehow mystical. Encryption is the almighty solution when it comes to protecting your digital data. At the same time, many use it without fully understanding it. But who cares as long as it works.<\/p>\n
Is encryption always the solution? How can I encrypt different kinds of data? And what if I no longer know my password?<\/p>\n
To start, we will clarify a few things. First, not all encryption methods are the same. There are a million ways to perform encryption. Depending on the need, we look for different encryption algorithms, which are either fast, or slow, or strong, or weak, or even undecryptable. We won’t go into all possible encryption algorithm, but note that the strength of your encryption depends on the algorithm you use.<\/p>\n
