Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-001300
The process of converting information or data into a code to prevent unauthorized access, using an algorithm to transform plaintext into ciphertext. This method protects sensitive data during transmission and storage, making it unreadable without the correct decryption key. Common encryption standards include Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA).
