In lay terms, a data set is said to be differentially private if the existence or lack of existence of a particular piece of data doesn't impact the end result. Differential privacy protects an individual's information essentially as if her information were not used in the analysis at all.

To fit your overall data protection strategy, you need a wide range of options for managing your encryption keys so you can generate, store, and rotate them as needed.
The risk of sensitive data being misused or stolen can be limited, as long as just the people (and services) who are authorized to access data for approved purposes can access the key. Without proper management of encryption keys robust encryption techniques can be rendered ineffective. So, while encryption is a core feature of any effective da...
