AES 256
AES 256 (Advanced Encryption Standard with a 256-bit key) is a powerful encryption technology used to keep data secure and confidential. It works by encrypting data and allowing it to be decrypted when needed. This ensures both high-speed performance and strong security. AES 256 encrypts data in 128-bit blocks using a 256-bit key, running multiple rounds of encryption to protect against unauthorized access.
This technology is widely used to protect sensitive information, such as banking transactions, personal data, and corporate secrets. It can be applied to both hardware (like hard drives and USB storage devices) and software (like VPNs and cloud storage), offering reliable and comprehensive data security.
Unlike TCG OPAL, which focuses on managing overall system security, AES 256 is dedicated to encrypting data itself. This makes it a highly effective choice for situations where strong and reliable data protection is a top priority.
