SECURITY TECHNOLOGIES - ENCRYPTION

ADVANTAGES OF ENCRYPTION:


* encryption is automatic so there is less opportunity for human error.


* if someone doesn't know what you're sending them it remains private.


* it keeps others from being able to easily read your private information that has been encrypted.


* if the communications link operates continuously and carries an unvarying level of traffic, link encryption defeats traffic analysis.


DISADVANTAGES OF ENCRYPTION:


* it slows your computer down and uses up resources such as memory, hard drive space etc.


* there is a lot of overhead in terms of processing, that which requires encrypting takes processing to convert what would be readable information to the unintelligible and then again at the other end to convert the unintelligible back to the readable while in transport or storage.
