F.A.Q. on Encryption

What is encryption ?

What do WinEncrypt products do ?
What do I need to know to be able to use strong encryption ?

What is encryption ?

Loosely, encryption is the process of mathematically disguising and transforming data in such a way as to hide its substance. The ISO 7498-2 standard uses the term 'encipher' to describe the conversion of plaintext to ciphertext. To 'decipher' is to get the plaintext or original data back. In our context, we use a password or passphrase to encrypt or encipher (transform) data into unusable encrypted data. Encryption is simply the encoding of data so that it cannot be read by anyone who does not know the password that decodes it. Thus you can keep your data secure using encryption.

Why do I need encryption ?

For the same reason as why you need privacy. When it comes to computers and electronic data, you cannot take your privacy and security for granted like you would in a real world situation. Encryption enforces your right to privacy.
Most of us have sensitive information on our hard disks. This content can range from financial information to private correspondence we'd rather no one else had access to. The best way to protect this content is to encrypt those files and folders.
Even if encrypted data is stolen or accessed without your permission or knowledge, it is useless without the password.
