Encryption converts readable data into an encoded format that can only be accessed with the correct decryption key. It protects sensitive information such as passwords, financial data, and personal details from unauthorized access during storage or transmission. Modern applications use encryption for securing APIs, databases, network communication, and user authentication. Strong encryption is fundamental to maintaining privacy, compliance, and data security across digital systems.
