Encryption
Definition
Encryption is the process of transforming a readable message into an unreadable format (ciphertext) using an algorithm and a secret key. It protects the confidentiality of data in transit and at rest, and is complementary to hashing used to guarantee integrity in signature. Certyneo uses TLS 1.3 to encrypt all communications between the browser and servers.
