Encryption is a fundamental security technique that transforms data into a coded format to protect it from unauthorized access. It involves the use of algorithms and keys to convert plaintext information into ciphertext, making it unreadable to anyone who does not possess the decryption key. Here’s an overview of encryption: Key Components of Encryption: Types… Read More

The presentation layer is the sixth layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. It is responsible for translating data from a common format to one that can be understood by the application. This process allows diverse types of data to be presented in a consistent manner. The presentation layer also provides encryption and compression… Read More
