Data Encryption

What Is Data Encryption: Definition, Types, and Uses for Your Business in the UNEMPRENDE Dictionary.

What is Data Encryption?

Data encryption is the mathematical process by which original information is transformed into an alternative, encoded format that is unintelligible to any person or computer program that does not possess the correct cryptographic decryption key.

More Information

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)

SSL is a security encryption protocol that protects the privacy of communications between the website on the server and the visitor's browser, ensuring that data such as passwords, email addresses, and credit card information is transmitted securely and remains unreadable to third parties.

DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail)

The DKIM protocol is an email authentication system that attaches an encrypted digital signature to the header of outgoing messages, allowing the receiving server to verify—using public keys in the DNS—that the email originates from the sender's domain and has not been tampered with.

SPF (Sender Policy Framework)

SPF is an email validation protocol that involves adding a special TXT record to the domain's DNS zone, specifying in detail the IP addresses of the servers authorized to send emails on behalf of your brand in order to prevent spoofing.

Malware

Malware is any malicious computer program, file, or code designed to infiltrate a server, website, or device in order to steal confidential information, damage the operating system, spy on users, or infect legitimate files.

WAF (Web Application Firewall)

The WAF is a specialized software security filter that specifically protects web applications against vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS) by analyzing packets at the web application level.

DDoS (Distributed Denial-of-Service Attack)

A DDoS attack involves the massive and coordinated sending of simultaneous web requests from a network of infected computers or bots to a single server, with the deliberate aim of overwhelming its hardware resources and causing websites to go down and become inaccessible.

DMARC

DMARC is an email security policy that combines the results of SPF and DKIM, providing explicit instructions to recipient servers on whether to accept, mark as spam, or reject messages that fail authenticity checks.

Phishing

Phishing is a fraudulent social engineering technique in which attackers send emails or create fake websites that impersonate financial institutions or well-known brands in order to deceive users and steal their credentials.
