Since then the matter of protecting the valuable information has not become less important. Whether you are looking for a way to protect sensitive information (simply, passwords for example) or just want to learn more about cryptography this article will give you some practical knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-to-encrypt\"> Why to encrypt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our life most of us rely on trust. We trust that our PC and operating system is secure enough to protect it from unauthorized access and hacks. We trust that our bank is secure enough to keep our money safe. We trust that our governments will protect our property rights. But if you look back, you can see how many times this trust has been broken &#8211; forced gold exchange in 1933, cancellation of gold standard in 1971, banks bailout in 2008. These are just examples of recent times and only one country. Do not trust, verify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-encrypt\">What to encrypt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are just a few things which can be secured with encryption of a text file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>passwords \/ sensitive notes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>commercial secrets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cryptocurrencies passphrases<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>messages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-encrypt\">How to encrypt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are multiple tools and in-build OS programs to encrypt files.
