In the context of technical documentation, encryption refers to the process of converting the content of the documentation into a coded or encrypted format, so that it can only be read by individuals who have the appropriate decryption key. Encryption is used to protect the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information in the documentation, such as trade secrets, proprietary technology, or confidential customer data.
Encryption is an essential tool for protecting the confidentiality and integrity of technical documentation and is a critical component of information security. By encrypting technical documentation, technical writers can reduce the risk of data breaches and protect sensitive information from unauthorized access or disclosure.
