How does cryptography provide confidentiality of information?

What will be an ideal response?


Cryptography can protect the confidentiality of information by ensuring that only authorized parties can view it. When private information, such as a list of new applicants to be hired, is transmitted across the Internet or stored on a file server, its contents can be encrypted, which allows only authorized individuals who have the algorithm key to see it.
