Encryption

Encoding data so only authorized parties can read it - at rest and, via TLS, in transit. A baseline security control that AI governance is layered on top of.

Encryption transforms readable data into ciphertext that only a holder of the right key can decode. It protects data in two states: at rest (stored on disk or in a database) and in transit (moving across a network, where TLS is the standard). It is one of the oldest and most universal security controls, and today it is largely invisible - applied by default rather than requested case by case.

That default-on posture is exactly the trajectory AI governance is following. Encryption stopped being a policy someone remembered to apply and became infrastructure the system enforces automatically; runtime AI governance aims to make policy enforcement just as automatic and unavoidable.
