Client-Side Encryption
Developers should implement client-side encryption when building applications that require high levels of data privacy, such as secure messaging apps, healthcare systems, or financial platforms, to prevent unauthorized access by service providers or during data breaches
Client-Side Encryption
Nice PickDevelopers should implement client-side encryption when building applications that require high levels of data privacy, such as secure messaging apps, healthcare systems, or financial platforms, to prevent unauthorized access by service providers or during data breaches
Pros
- +It is essential for compliance with regulations like GDPR or HIPAA, which mandate data protection, and in scenarios where users need full control over their encryption keys, such as in zero-knowledge architectures
- +Related to: cryptography, web-crypto-api
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Server-Side Encryption
Developers should use SSE when storing sensitive data in cloud environments or on-premises servers to meet compliance requirements (e
Pros
- +g
- +Related to: aws-s3-encryption, azure-storage-encryption
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Client-Side Encryption if: You want it is essential for compliance with regulations like gdpr or hipaa, which mandate data protection, and in scenarios where users need full control over their encryption keys, such as in zero-knowledge architectures and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Server-Side Encryption if: You prioritize g over what Client-Side Encryption offers.
