What is encryption tools?

Encryption tools are software or hardware that use cryptographic algorithms to transform data into an unreadable format, protecting its confidentiality. They are commonly used to secure data at rest (e.g., files on a hard drive), data in transit (e.g., email communications), and for authentication and access control. Examples include tools for file encryption, email encryption, disk encryption, and secure communication protocols.
