**DEK**

What is DEK?

DEK typically refers to a Data Encryption Key. A DEK is a symmetric key used to encrypt data. Unlike Key Encryption Keys (KEKs) which encrypt other keys, DEKs are used directly to encrypt the data itself. DEKs are commonly used in data encryption strategies involving multiple key layers, offering a balance between security and performance due to the efficiency of symmetric encryption algorithms.
