How Internet Encryption Works and Why It's Important
白皮书
When you tell someone a secret, you trust them to keep it. If that person were to tell someone your secret, they would lose your trust. However, what if someone overheard you telling that person your secret without you even knowing?
Daily, we trust our computers and the internet to keep our personal information safe. As more transactions become electronic, more sensitive information traverses the internet and fills databases. That is why cyberattacks are so prevalent. With valuable information at their fingertips, hackers can sell your information on the dark web, leak classified documents, demand ransom for information or photos, and track movements and activities. Hackers will use linked payment accounts to shop, expose your intellectual property, and steal your identity. Luckily, there is a way to prevent these nefarious activities.
