SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT FOR PRIVACY PROTECTION AND DATA SECURITY

Abstract

Modern society is faced with an unprecedented amount of data, among which sensitive personal data occupies a special place due to its high importance and vulnerability. With the development of technologies for analyzing and processing big data, the risk of leakage and unauthorized access to this data is increasing. Leakage or compromise of personal information can have serious consequences for individuals, including financial loss, breach of personal security and reputational loss. Despite security measures, much big data is vulnerable. Existing security methods are outdated, unprotected, or insufficiently robust. However, with the right security measures, especially by using encryption algorithms, the risk of data compromise can be significantly reduced. Cryptographic protection of data is a critical task that is more important today than ever. Among cryptographic algorithms, the most common and reliable are symmetric and asymmetric encryption algorithms. This paper discusses data security issues, compares encryption algorithms and presents software that encrypts and decrypts a given document in real time using symmetric and asymmetric encryption algorithms
