Cryptography

Cryptography is the science of encryption and decryption of data. Cryptography is used to ensure integrity, confidentiality and authenticity of data. Integrity means that the data has not been modified. Confidentiality means that data is not readable by other users. Data authenticity means that what was received is what was sent. User authentication means that the user has provided one or more proofs of their identity.

Authentication mechanisms mathematically check data source or the proof of identity. Encryption mechanisms scramble data</span > so that the data is not readable by an observer. Cryptographic services provide authentication and encryption mechanisms to applications and users.

Cryptography at the service of your business

Cryptography dates back to the great history of secret messages and other codes. Closer to home, cryptography is making its mark today in the digital and business space. Today, you don’t have to be a spy or a secret agent to use cryptography.

Cryptology today is the subject of a strong market demand: it is no longer just a matter of marginally using a cryptographic process to ensure a specific function, such as access control, but of designing a global security architecture with cryptology as the cornerstone.

The more we advance in time, the more the threats multiply and diversify</span >, so the risk of compromising of files or messages is growing. Hence the importance of cryptography, whose mission, viewed very broadly, is that only the initial recipient of a message or document can read it . In the event of a data leak for example, or the interception of a confidential email, encrypting your emails becomes essential and can avoid the sometimes dramatic consequences for the company.

Cryptography can receive many applications within your company. Two use cases are generally applicable: on the one hand, the protection of the company against various cyber threats, and on the other hand, a obligation to secure data imposed by the GDPR. In both cases, encrypting data becomes essential .

Protection against external threats requires protecting your communications, whether they are messages sent between teams or to destination from third parties (customers, partners, suppliers), but also from the storage of your files on cloud applications, these, which are increasingly used by companies, only offer security fairly weak to their users and the files stored there. Again, it is then necessary to use a third-party cryptography solution to ensure the Cloud encryption.

Your data travels, but not your security!

La sécurité informatique consiste traditionnellement en une «protection périmétrique» comme un antivirus, des pare-feu, etc. Cependant, comme il s’agit de données partagées, ce type de protection n’assure pas leur sécurité à toutes les étapes de leur parcours, ce qui constitue un risque de confidentialité pour votre entreprise.
