Encryption
Data encryption in data engineering refers to the process of converting plaintext data into a secure and unreadable format (ciphertext) using encryption algorithms. This practice is employed to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access or data breaches. In the context of data engineering, encryption is applied to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of data as it is stored, processed, or transmitted.

Data encryption is a security method that translates data into a code, or ciphertext, that can only be read by people with access to a secret key or password. Data encryption protects data from being stolen, changed, or compromised. There are two main types of encryption: symmetric and asymmetric.🔗Cloudian -
