The United States has been notorious for spying around, threatening the privacy of internet users all over the world. Google and Yahoo came up with a solution to offer the maximum amount of privacy for their services. This was accomplished by means of improved encryption. Now Microsoft follows in the footsteps of Google and Yahoo by doing the same. Encryption has been enhanced for Web Outlook as well as OneDrive cloud storage.
How does it Work
There is a large amount of information and data which is not safe to be transferred across the internet. However, data encryption provides protection to a large extent. When you send your information or data through an email or by filling out a form, the information is coded. It de-coded only at the receiving end. Microsoft has used different encryption techniques in order to ensure the maximum amount of protections for individuals around the globe who use Outlook or OneDrive. So, whether you are sending an email through Outlook or saving important files in OnceDrive cloud storage, your information and data will remain safe from prying eyes.
The Advantages
As data encryption keeps your information hidden in the form of a code, no third parties can have access to it. These third parties may be prying government agencies or cybercriminals who want to steal your sensitive information for the purpose of identity theft. Therefore, through improved encryption, Microsoft offers better protection to its users who would now feel more comfortable using these services.
