Data Encryption

Data is extremely valuable and very often highly confidential. Unauthorized access to data in any database could result in significant financial or reputational damage to a business or an individual. For example, if your credit card numbers are stored on the server of an online ecommerce provider, you would not want them to be accessed by any one since the data about the card could allow them to make purchases which you will have to pay for, since it is your credit card.

One solution to this challenge is Encryption.
