Overview

Now-a-days, sending unencrypted data through online can be easily hacked by hackers to misuse those data. Encryption is important to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access.

Encryption is a process to secretly communicate data/message/files online using encryption certificate. Data/file/message encryption provides a mean to encrypt data/files/messages which ensures end-to-end confidentiality in unanticipated workflows. Specific recipients have access to these data/files/messages. It addresses the need to protect these documents from certain intermediaries in the document exchange path and provide confidentiality to transports.

The data, which is being sent, will be encrypted by the recipient’s public key listed in the corresponding Digital Certificate of the encryption key pair. On receiving the encrypted data, the recipient will decrypt the message with the private key corresponding to the public key listed in the Digital Certificate used to encrypt the data.

Organizations use the Encryption Certificate to protect corporate secrets, governments’ use it to secure classified information and individuals use it to protect personal information.
