Data Encryption Intro

Description

Encryption is explained in seven PDF lessons without heavy mathematics. You begin with the basics, then compare symmetric and asymmetric encryption and look at the common algorithms used in practice.

The later lessons cover protecting data at rest and in transit, real-world applications, practical tools and implementation, and best practices for data security. After reading, you will understand how encryption protects files and communications and be able to choose and apply sensible protections. Exercises and reference tables appear throughout. Each lesson explains a concept in plain terms first and then shows where it is used in practice.

Who it is for: beginners who want to understand how encryption protects data and where to use it.
