-# Encryption for Privacy
-
-## Overview
-
-Encryption is a critical technical measure for protecting personal data and ensuring privacy. It transforms readable data into an unreadable format that can only be decrypted with the appropriate key. Encryption is required or recommended by GDPR, HIPAA, and other privacy regulations.
-
-## Encryption Types
-
-### Encryption at Rest
-- Encrypt data stored on devices
-- Encrypt databases
-- Encrypt file systems
-- Encrypt backups
-- Protect stored data
-
-### Encryption in Transit
-- Encrypt data during transmission
-- Use TLS/SSL for network communication
-- Encrypt API communications
-- Encrypt email communications
-- Protect data in motion
-
-### Encryption in Use
-- Encrypt data during processing
-- Homomorphic encryption
-- Secure multi-party computation
-- Encrypted databases
-- Protect data during use
-
-## Encryption Algorithms
-
-### Symmetric Encryption
-- Same key for encryption and decryption
-- Fast and efficient
-- AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
-- ChaCha20
-- Suitable for bulk data
-
-### Asymmetric Encryption
-- Public and private key pair
-- Public key encrypts, private key decrypts
-- RSA
-- Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)
-- Suitable for key exchange
-
-### Hash Functions
-- One-way functions
-- SHA-256, SHA-3
-- Used for data integrity
-- Password hashing
-- Digital signatures
-
-## Key Management
-
-### Key Generation
-- Use cryptographically secure random number generators
-- Generate keys with sufficient entropy
-- Use appropriate key sizes
-- Follow cryptographic best practices
-- Document key generation
-
-### Key Storage
-- Store keys securely
-- Use hardware security modules (HSM)
-- Encrypt keys with master keys
-- Limit key access
-- Separate key storage from data
-
-### Key Rotation
-- Rotate keys regularly
-- Implement key rotation policies
-- Re-encrypt data with new keys
-- Archive old keys securely
-- Document key rotation
-
-### Key Access Control
-- Limit key access to authorized personnel
-- Implement role-based access
-- Use multi-factor authentication
-- Audit key access
-- Revoke access when needed
-
-## Implementation Patterns
-
-### Database Encryption
-
-#### Transparent Data Encryption (TDE)
-- Encrypt entire database
-- Transparent to applications
-- Encrypt data and log files
-- Use database-level encryption
-- Manage keys separately
-
-#### Column-Level Encryption
-- Encrypt specific columns
-- Selective encryption
-- Encrypt sensitive fields
-- Use application-level encryption
-- Manage keys in application
-
-#### Field-Level Encryption
-- Encrypt individual fields
-- Granular encryption
-- Encrypt before storage
-- Use format-preserving encryption
-- Maintain data format
-
-### File System Encryption
-- Encrypt entire file systems
-- Encrypt individual files
-- Use file system encryption
-- Transparent encryption
-- Manage keys securely
-
-### Application-Level Encryption
-- Encrypt in application code
-- Encrypt before storage

-
-## TLS/SSL for Transit
-
-### TLS Configuration
-- Use TLS 1.3 (recommended) or TLS 1.2 (minimum)
-- Disable weak protocols
-- Use strong cipher suites
-- Implement perfect forward secrecy
-- Use certificate pinning
-
-### Certificate Management
-- Use valid certificates
-- Implement certificate validation
-- Monitor certificate expiration
-- Rotate certificates regularly
-- Use certificate authorities (CAs)
-
-### API Encryption
-- Encrypt all API communications
-- Use HTTPS for REST APIs
-- Use TLS for gRPC
-- Implement mutual TLS (mTLS)
-- Validate certificates
-
-## Encryption Best Practices
-
-### Algorithm Selection
-- Use industry-standard algorithms
-- Avoid deprecated algorithms
-- Use appropriate key sizes
-- Follow NIST recommendations
-- Stay updated on vulnerabilities
-
-### Key Management
-- Use dedicated key management systems
-- Implement key rotation
-- Separate key storage
-- Limit key access
-- Audit key usage
-
-### Performance Considerations
-- Balance security and performance
-- Use hardware acceleration
-- Optimize encryption operations
-- Cache encrypted data
-- Monitor performance impact
-
-### Compliance
-- Encrypt sensitive data
-- Encrypt personal data
-- Encrypt health information
-- Encrypt financial data
-- Document encryption measures
-
-## Privacy-Specific Encryption
-
-### End-to-End Encryption
-- Encrypt from sender to recipient
-- No intermediate decryption
-- Protect against intermediaries
-- Use for messaging
-- Use for file sharing
-
-### Zero-Knowledge Encryption
-- Service provider cannot decrypt
-- Only user has keys
-- Maximum privacy
-- Use for cloud storage
-- Use for backup services
-
-### Homomorphic Encryption
-- Compute on encrypted data
-- No decryption required
-- Privacy-preserving computation
-- Use for analytics
-- Use for machine learning
-
-## Encryption for GDPR
-
-### Encryption Requirements
-- Encrypt personal data
-- Use appropriate encryption
-- Manage keys securely
-- Document encryption measures
-- Regular encryption audits
-
-### Breach Notification
-- Encrypted data may exempt from notification
-- If keys are compromised, notify
-- Assess encryption strength
-- Document encryption status
-- Review encryption regularly
-
-## Encryption for HIPAA
-
-### ePHI Encryption
-- Encrypt ePHI at rest (addressable)
-- Encrypt ePHI in transit (addressable)
-- Use strong encryption
-- Manage keys securely
-- Document encryption measures
-
-### Encryption Standards
-- Use FIPS 140-2 validated encryption
-- Use NIST-approved algorithms
-- Use appropriate key sizes
-- Follow HIPAA encryption guidance
-- Regular encryption reviews
