Abstract: The report aims to review the security threats to sensitive data in today's digital era, focusing on the way it is stored. Methods for encryption, hashing and salting of data are presented. Encryption transforms the data into ciphertext using symmetric and asymmetric algorithms, chosen depending on the use case. Hashing generates unique values for checking the integrity of the data, whereas salting adds additional data to prevent attacks with precomputed hash values. These methods of secure data storage, alongside additional techniques, such as adding "pepper", create a complex defense mechanism, which increases the security and lowers the risk of malicious attacks.
