Mobile Security

Encryption

Encryption is a process that turns the information stored on your device into unintelligible text characters that cannot be deciphered and read without the decryption key. An encrypted device will not convert its encrypted information back into plaintext unless the user provides the correct password. Encryption ensures that if someone does break or bypass your password, the information on your computer cannot be read.
