encryption
In cryptography, encryption is the process of obscuring information to make it unreadable without special knowledge. While encryption has been used to protect communications for centuries, only organisations and individuals with an extraordinary need for secrecy have made use of it. In the mid-1970s, strong encryption emerged from the sole preserve of secretive government agencies into the public domain, and is now employed in protecting widely-used systems, such as Internet e-commerce, mobile telephone networks and bank ATMs.Source: Wikipedia
Why Zertificon Solutions?
The components of our company name show what we do:
Zertifi- descends from the German word for certificate (= Zertifikat). Almost all our solutions rely on the use of digital certificates. A digital certificate contains mainly a users public key. At the same time a third entity confirms (= certifies) that the public key belongs to a certain user or organization. To have public access to a public key is important for communication partners. They can then for example send an encrypted e-mail to the owner of the public key.con has many meanings
