Secure environment

Secure environment

In computing, a secure environment is any system which implements the controlled storage and use of information.

Often, secure environments employ cryptography as a means to protect information.

Some secure environments employ cryptographic hashing, simply to verify that the information has not been altered since it was last modified.
