Problem
Each section provides good information that clearly and concisely summarizes the key differences between encoding, encrypting, and hashing. For your encoding section, I like how you explained the reversible nature of encoding, its public scheme, and its primary role as ensuring usability, rather than security. With regards to the section on encryption, I like how you explained similarities and differences of encoding and encryption while emphasizing the role of encryption as a means of securing data in transit and at rest. Lastly, with regards to your hashing section, I like how foot stomped that hashing is used to transform data into irreversible, fixed length alphanumeric strings for the purposes of authentication and data integrity. As Cyware (2019) explains, understanding the key concepts of encoding, encryption, and hashing can help organizations decide which technique should be employed -or combined - to better improve network security. What are your thoughts on how organizations can best combine these techniques to balances the often-competing needs of security and availability?
