• SSL encrypts data during transmission, securing it from unauthorized access.
• Secure Socket Layer (SSL) - A cryptographic protocol designed to provide secure communication over a computer network, commonly used to protect sensitive data transmitted between a web browser and a server.
• Decryption - The process of converting encrypted data (ciphertext) back into its original readable form (plaintext) using a decryption key.
• Hashing - A one-way function that transforms data into a fixed-size string (hash), commonly used to verify data integrity and secure sensitive information.
• Compression - A technique used in computing to reduce the size of data files, making them easier to store and transmit.
