CENC Common Encryption Algorithms & Methods Guide
A fundamental concept of modern security, encryption, serves as the cornerstone to safeguard data storage, digital communications, streaming, online transactions and much more. Derived from the roots of cryptography, encryption transforms a plain, readable information into an unreadable or unintelligible form using mathematical algorithms and secret keys.
