The case for encryption

Overview

In this publication we will take a brief look at the risks
associated with data in transit across modern high-speed
networks. We will talk about the associated impact of
Cyber Crime and reflect on the need to secure data within
both the public and private sectors.

We will highlight the role of encryption in securing data
and explain some of the key components of data
encryption along with where to encrypt. We will also
outline the importance of the key global standards of
accreditation for encryption technology and what to
look for.

What we won't be doing is talking about the nuts and bolts
of encryption. The world of algorithms, keys, certificates, certification authorities and quantum key distribution will have to wait for another time.
