The Global Document Encryption Software Market Size is poised to grow from US$362.6 Mn in 2020 to US$1,588.2 Mn by 2028, at a CAGR of 25% during the forecast period 2021-2028. The growth of this market can be attributed to factors such as the increasing number of data breaches and cyberattacks on organizations due to various reasons like hacking or social engineering which has led companies across industries to rely on encryption solutions for their confidential documents and other sensitive information stored electronically.
Document encryption software is a secure method for protecting sensitive data like confidential documents, meeting minutes, technical information, and financial statements. It provides end-to-end protection for the content of files that are stored electronically without any need to change or modify them in order to encrypt or decrypt their contents. This type of security measure ensures confidentiality by converting clear text into code that can only be read with the use of decryption keys. The document encryption process starts when plaintext goes through an encoding function called ciphering before being converted into unreadable encrypted codes known as ciphers. These bytes form blocks that represent characters from the readable English language alphabet (A-Z). To decipher these messages back to their original format, it needs decoding keys such as public keys or private keys.
On the basis of Types, the market is segmented into IDEA, RSA, and AES algorithms. IDEA algorithm type segment is anticipated to account for the largest market share in 2021.
IDEA is a symmetric key algorithm and uses the cipher feedback mode of operation. It was designed by Xuejia Lai in 1991 to be easy for users without any crypto-mathematics knowledge or skills, which makes it easier than other algorithms to use. IDEA stands for International Data Encryption Algorithm; it was proposed as a global standard but lost its place when AES became popular as an encryption method worldwide.
RSA algorithm is the most popular and well-known public-key cryptography algorithm. RSA algorithms are used to encrypt messages or decrypt a message that has been encrypted by another party (message sender) using their private key, which only they have access to. The general use of this encryption type can be applied as long as there is no need for a secure channel between parties at any given time.
AES is a type of algorithm which encrypts and decrypts data by using various keys. It was developed to replace Data Encryption Standard (DES) as the United States adopted it for its standards in 2001. AES has been found to be secure from brute-force attacks with key lengths at 128, 192, or 256 bits; however, there are some concerns that quantum computers could compromise encrypted communications if they become functional before new encryption algorithms can sufficiently replace AES.
On the basis of the Application, the market is segmented into Confidential Document, Meeting Minutes, Technical Information, Financial Statements, and Others.
In confidential documents, the encryption of data is done to ensure that only authorized personnel has access. Encryption usually involves using a public key and private key which are matched keys. The sender uses their private key to encrypt information and sends it in an encrypted document or password-protected message via email/Internet protocol (IP). To decrypt such messages, the receiver needs the matching public key as well as detailed knowledge about how encryption was carried out so they can reverse the process by using this same set of procedures for decryption.
Document encryption software is used for meeting minutes so that the content of meetings can be kept private. Meeting minutes are often confidential and contain sensitive information such as drafts, discussions on current campaigns, or corporate strategy. This type of company-wide communication should not be freely available to anyone who has access to a particular computer system within an organization. These documents need protection from unauthorized individuals before they are sent out externally or internally in order to maintain confidentiality.
The use of Document Encryption Software in technical information is quite high. The reason behind this is that the tech companies usually store a lot of data and they need to make sure that it will be appropriately secured by encryption software, so documents protected with an encryption algorithm can only be decrypted by authorized personnel or out-of-the-box tools. For instance, when technicians collect customer service feedbacks on daily basis via remote channels like chat sessions or email threads, these documents should also be encrypted if sensitive information has been shared among them. Thus, in order for a security measure to work smoothly without any problem, more than one type of algorithm is used to encrypt the files (e.g., IDEA Algorithm + AES Algorithm).
The use of Document Encryption Software in financial statements is increasing as it can be used to safeguard access to these documents. The software has been widely adopted by organizations for email encryption, file encryption, and data protection. This allows employees to share sensitive information with each other without having a fear that it will be leaked outside the company which may lead them into legal or compliance issues. It also helps protect intellectual property because once a document is encrypted, only those who have authorized access can open it. Financial institutions are using this software for business continuity planning where they need an electronic copy of their crucial files such as customer records and account details at all times when there's an event like fire or power outage so that their staff can continue working from another location.
On the basis of Region, the market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to have the highest market share. The growth is attributed to increasing use of encryption software in email communication, quick adoption among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for data privacy, rising regulations on new business models due to high cybercrimes risk as well as flexible pricing methods adopted by vendors.
