What process, used for security in wireless solutions, is defined as the encoding of information...

Encryption vs. Other Options:

Access Control: Limits who can access data, but doesn't make it unreadable.

Authentication: Validates user/device identity, but not focused on data confidentiality.

Authorization: Determines the actions a user is allowed, separate from securing the data itself.

How encryption works: Encryption uses algorithms and keys to turn plaintext into unreadable ciphertext. Only those with the correct key can decrypt it.

Data in motion vs. data at rest: Encryption protects sensitive information both when transmitted over the wireless network and when stored on devices.
