Encryption Standards vs Steganography
Developers should learn and use encryption standards when building applications that handle sensitive data, such as financial transactions, personal information, or confidential communications, to protect against unauthorized access and data breaches meets developers should learn steganography when working on applications requiring data privacy, digital rights management, or secure communication channels where hiding the very presence of information is critical. Here's our take.
Encryption Standards
Developers should learn and use encryption standards when building applications that handle sensitive data, such as financial transactions, personal information, or confidential communications, to protect against unauthorized access and data breaches
Encryption Standards
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use encryption standards when building applications that handle sensitive data, such as financial transactions, personal information, or confidential communications, to protect against unauthorized access and data breaches
Pros
- +For example, implementing AES for encrypting stored data, RSA for secure key exchange, or TLS for securing web traffic ensures compliance with security regulations and builds trust with users
- +Related to: aes, rsa
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Steganography
Developers should learn steganography when working on applications requiring data privacy, digital rights management, or secure communication channels where hiding the very presence of information is critical
Pros
- +Specific use cases include embedding copyright watermarks in media files, concealing messages in images for secure transmission, and implementing anti-tampering mechanisms in software
- +Related to: cryptography, digital-forensics
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Encryption Standards if: You want for example, implementing aes for encrypting stored data, rsa for secure key exchange, or tls for securing web traffic ensures compliance with security regulations and builds trust with users and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Steganography if: You prioritize specific use cases include embedding copyright watermarks in media files, concealing messages in images for secure transmission, and implementing anti-tampering mechanisms in software over what Encryption Standards offers.
