What is meant by “encryption”?
The translation of data into a secret code. Encryption is the most effective way to achieve data security. To read an encrypted file, you must have access to a secret key or password that enables you to decrypt it. Unencrypted data is called plain text; encrypted data is referred to as a cipher text. There are two main types of encryption: asymmetric encryption (also called public-key encryption) and symmetric encryption. Return to top.
Encryption means that all information submitted by you is locked while it travels between the customer PC and the server. We protect the data collected from the candidates by using 128-bit SSL encryption.What is 128-bit encryption? 128-bit encryption provides significantly greater amount of cryptographic protection. With the increasing computing power of potential criminals, it is becoming more necessary to employ larger keys, as evidenced by a recent study by several leading cryptographers.In terms of what the numbers represent, 128 bit encryption refers to the size of the key used to encrypt the message.Why do I need 128-bit encryption? This encryption strength is needed to handle the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) that was put on this application. The SSL is on this application to ensure that your payment information is secure and protected as it is transmitted over the Internet.
