Who Holds the Keys?

Encryption can make up for a litany of security snafus -- from a bad firewall to an unrelenting hacker to a lost laptop. Once data is encrypted, criminals can't use or sell it. Plus, if encrypted data goes missing, companies are protected from disclosure requirements in most states.

Encryption keys and digital rights also must be well orchestrated and secured, or else encryption protection goes out the window.
