Encryption
A software security measure taken by online casinos to ensure that online transactions are safe from hackers.
Encryption is the process of converting information or data into a code, especially to prevent unauthorized access. It involves transforming readable data (plaintext) into an unreadable format (ciphertext) using an algorithm and a key. Only those who possess the correct decryption key can convert the ciphertext back into its original plaintext form, ensuring that sensitive information remains secure during storage or transmission. Encryption is widely used in various applications, including securing communications, protecting personal data, and safeguarding financial transactions, such as those in online gambling and banking.
