Security & Privacy
Encryption
Encoding data so only authorized parties can read it.
Example
Stored prompts are encrypted so stolen files cannot be read without the key.
Why it matters
It helps protect information while it is stored or moving between systems.
You'll hear it
“The file is encrypted, but who can unlock it?”
Can you control it?

Common questions
- Does encryption verify that the information is true?
- No. Incorrect material can be encrypted just as well as correct material.
- Can an authorized recipient still share the information?
- Yes. Once it is readable, further sharing depends on other controls and behavior.
- Can losing a key make information inaccessible?
- Yes. Without an appropriate recovery arrangement, encrypted material may become unusable.
