Introduction:

Cryptography should be considered for data that is sensitive, has a high value, or is vulnerable to unauthorized disclosure or undetected modification during transmission or while in storage.

Cryptographic methods provide important functionality to protect against intentional and accidental compromise and alteration of data.

Some cryptographic mechanisms support confidentiality during communications by encrypting the communication prior to transmission and decrypting it at receipt. These methods also provide file/data confidentiality by encrypting the data prior to placement on a storage medium and decrypting it after retrieval from the storage medium.

Other cryptographic mechanisms, such as message authentication codes and digital signatures, provide data content integrity and source authentication services. That is, the cryptographic mechanisms permit the user to determine that the entity claiming to be the source of data really is the source and to determine whether information has been modified since it was last authenticated or “signed” by its source.
