Mia Gil Epner, a Computer Science major at UC Berkeley and a Department of Defense employee, explains the importance of keeping private information safe in the open and public internet. Users frequently share sensitive data like credit card numbers and passwords, necessitating security measures. One key method for protecting this information is encryption, which alters the original message to maintain confidentiality. Decryption is the reverse process, making the encrypted message readable again.
