Engineer Briefing

Networks constantly move sensitive information:

• Passwords.
• Financial data.
• Business documents.
• User information.

If data travels without protection, attackers may intercept it.

Example:

User

 |

Internet

 |

Server

An attacker monitoring the connection may capture information.

The solution:

Encryption

Encryption protects data by converting it into a form that unauthorized users cannot understand.

Mission Objectives

By the end of this mission, students should understand:

• Why encryption is important.
