Modern Encryption and Key Management Encryption protects data in transit and at rest, but its strength relies on how keys are created, stored, and used. This article shares practical ideas that teams of all sizes can apply to improve security without slowing work. Encryption uses algorithms to make data unreadable without a key. There are two main kinds: symmetric keys for fast data access, and asymmetric keys for secure exchanges. In practice, many systems combine both: data is encrypted with a symmetric key, then that key is secured with an asymmetric system or a public key infrastructure (PKI). ...
