This episode explains how encryption protects data in two primary states—when stored (data at rest) and when moving across networks (data in transit). We define plaintext and ciphertext, along with encryption methods for securing files, disks, mobile devices, emails, and web traffic. Understanding these concepts is vital for identifying when and how encryption should be applied.

We provide practical examples such as encrypting a laptop hard drive to protect against theft or using a VPN to secure communications over public Wi-Fi.
