Encryption

"Encryption scrambles data making it unreadable by unauthorised users, but it can still be stolen."

Encryption is a way of scrambling data so that it can’t be read by anyone who isn’t supposed to see it.

It’s like turning your message into a secret code.

Even if someone steals the data, they can’t understand it without the key to unlock it.

Key Point:

Encryption makes data unreadable to those without access.

Encrypted data can still be stolen, it just can't be read or used.
