#Encryption Projects The first step of an encryption project is to clarify the core objectives and application scenarios, as the requirements for encryption can vary greatly across different scenarios. Common scenarios include:

Data storage encryption: Protect static data in databases, file systems, and cloud storage (such as user privacy, financial data).

Data transmission encryption: Protect dynamic data in network communications (such as HTTPS, instant messaging, IoT device communication).

Identity authentication and signatures: Verify user/device identity (such as digital signatures, JWT tokens) or prevent data tampering (such as blockchain transactions).

Compliance requirements: Meet mandatory encryption requirements for data set by regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and (Personal Information Protection Law).
