Everybody might have come to site to keep their private files safer on their android. Well some of you might know what is encryption? While some people might know that it is a security term. Well first let me explain what is encryption? and what is decryption?

 

Encryption is the most effective way to achieve data security. To read an encrypted file, you must have access to a secret key or password that enables you to Decrypt it. Unencrypted data is called plain text. Encrypted data is referred to as cipher text.

And decryption is opposite of encryption i.e to Decrypt we need to unlock the encrypted with a key.
