What Is Cryptography Software?
Cryptography software is a type of computer program that is generally used to encode information. This can enable the safe transfer of communication between parties, or allow valuable information to be hidden. Cryptography software has become much more common since the emergence of the Internet. Some of its specific applications include encoding ATM and credit card numbers, disguising e-mail passwords, and maintaining overall network security. The term cryptography sometimes refers to the deciphering of information, as opposed to its encoding.
