How do encryption tools work?
Encryption is a process of converting data into a format which is unreadable by any unauthorized person. Data encryption is in use in most government and military communication to transfer information securely from one point to another. The process of encrypting data involves use of an algorithm called a Cipher to convert bytes of data into a coded language that can only be accessed using a key which decrypts the data. Any person without the key will always see data in an unreadable format.
