Data encoding technologies and techniques have evolved significantly over the years to meet the growing demands of data management and security. In this article, we will explore the evolution of data encoding technologies and techniques, from traditional encoding methods to modern encryption algorithms, and the impact of these advancements on data security and privacy.
Historically, data encoding was primarily performed using simple encoding techniques such as ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) and Unicode to convert text and symbols into binary code for processing and storage. While these encoding methods were effective for basic data encoding tasks, they lacked robust encryption capabilities to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access.
