Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Encryption technology allows a user to secure their information by converting it into a code that can't be read by anyone who doesn't have the right key or password to unlock it. OCR (optical character recognition) is a technology that allows computers to read text from images, PDF (Portable Document Format) is a file format used for documents, and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is a technology used for making voice phone calls over the internet. None of these technologies offer the same protection as encryption.
