Canvas comes with secure Encryption and Decryption of data transferred between the client and server to protect and to safeguard the data transferred. Canvas uses Public-key cryptography (also known as asymmetric cryptography), a class of cryptographic algorithms that requires two separate keys, one secret (or private) key and one public key. The public key is used to encrypt plain text or to verify a digital signature; whereas the private key is used to decrypt ciphertext or to create a digital signature.
