Pronounced "cash", cache is the temporary storage area for instructions or files in a computing environment and is implemented for high-speed memory.

Cache is commonly used by the central processing unit (CPU), applications, web browsers and operating systems.

The occasional clearing of cache can help you solve some of these common issues:
👉 A full cache memory can cause applications to crash or not load properly
👉 Old caches can contain outdated information and files, causing webpages to not load or load incorrectly
👉 Browser caches can also contain personal information, such as passwords. Clearing them can help to protect your sensitive data

Have you ever thought of how our personal information is protected and kept secure when withdrawing money from an ATM and buying something online? 🤔

That’s where encryption comes in! It is the method by which information is converted into secret code that hides its true meaning.

It also provides:
👉🏻 Authentication: verifies the origin of the message
👉🏻 Confidentiality: encodes the message’s content
👉🏻 Non-repudiation: prevents senders from denying they sent the encrypted message
👉🏻 Integrity: proves the contents have not been changed since it was sent
