PKCS

PKCS (Public Key Cryptography Standards) are a set of rules and best practices developed to help organizations securely exchange information using public key cryptography. Think of it as a shared language that ensures everyone’s digital keys and data are handled consistently and safely. These standards cover methods for encrypting data, creating digital signatures, and managing certificates, making online communication like emails, banking, and secure downloads reliable and trustworthy. Overall, PKCS helps protect information from eavesdropping or tampering during digital exchanges.
