Data Theft

Data theft is a deliberate act of stealing data, which can occur through data loss or data leakage events. Data loss happens when a storage device is misplaced or stolen, while data leakage occurs when unauthorised entities get hold of copies of data.

Decrypt

Decryption is the process of converting ciphertext back into its original plaintext form using the same key and algorithm that was used to encrypt it in the first place.

Digital Certificate

A digital certificate is a means of proving identity or authentication through a trusted third-party called a certificate authority. It contains a subject's public key signed by the private key of the certificate authority, along with information such as issuer, subject identity, creation and expiration dates, algorithms, serial number, and thumbprint.

Digital Forensics

Digital forensics is the process of gathering, preserving and analyzing data from a computer system and/or network for use as evidence in a legal procedure. It can be challenging to properly collect relevant evidence while complying with the rules of evidence in order to ensure that such collected evidence is admissible in court.

Encryption Key

A key is a secret number used to control encryption and decryption. The length of the key determines the key space and provides more security against confidentiality breaches.
