Data encryption transforms digital information from plain text into an indecipherable format known as ciphertext. This process of encoding (transforming) data uses what is known as a “Database password key”–a piece of information, usually numbers and letters, generated by a cryptographic algorithm.
Data encryption safeguards personal or sensitive information stored in your Desk database. We use the AES (Advanced Encryption Standards) algorithm for mobile app database encryption.
Only someone with a decryption key can decipher and convert the encrypted databases into a readable format.
