Refers to the algorithms adopted for protecting data
from malicious accesses. As one algorithm may be better than another
one, it also reflects the efficiency of the data encryption algorithms
and mechanisms. [CD-JRA-1.3.2] {GEN: Security} |
Data encryption refers to mathematical calculations and algorithmic schemes which transform plaintext into cyphertext, a form that is non-readable to unauthorized parties. Data encryption is thus applied in order to ensure confidentiality, integrity and non-repudiation of the data. [Salomon 2003] {GEN: Security} |
