Various types of encryption are employed in cancer research and healthcare:
Symmetric Encryption: Uses a single key for both encryption and decryption. It is fast and efficient but requires secure key management. Asymmetric Encryption: Uses a pair of keys (public and private). It is more secure but slower compared to symmetric encryption. Hash Functions: Convert data into a fixed-size hash value, which is unique to the original data. It is used for data integrity verification. Hybrid Encryption: Combines symmetric and asymmetric encryption to leverage the strengths of both methods.
