While the most common are AES, RSA, and DES, there are other types being used as well. Let's dive into what these acronyms mean, what encryption is, and how to keep your online data safe.

What are encryption and decryption methods?

Encryption is the process of translating plain text data (plaintext) into something that appears to be random and meaningless (ciphertext). Decryption is the process of converting ciphertext back to plaintext. To encrypt more than a small amount of data, symmetric encryption is used.

Keep in mind that any method of encryption that you use will need storing the key to decrypt the encrypted data. This key will have to be available to your application and thus to anyone who has access to your application. By encrypting the data you change the problem of hiding your data to the problem of hiding your key and there is pretty much no way around it. The most you can do is to make your data harder to read but it can't be made impossible to read, unless you run your application on a trusted computing platform, as I said in my answer to your previous question.
