Think twice before implementing encryption

As we’ve seen before[*], encryption is a protection means rather than a security objective. Strong of that knowledge, we have clearly defined who should have access to our data, and who should not. Is encryption a good solution, then? Security attributes are often summed in three, sometimes four, basic properties that we may need to […]
