Encryption at Rest

Meaning

Encryption at Rest, within a biological context, refers to the intrinsic mechanisms safeguarding vital biological information or cellular components when they are in a quiescent or stored state. This concept highlights the body’s inherent capacity to protect static data, such as genetic sequences, stored metabolic reserves, or dormant cellular signaling pathways, from degradation, corruption, or unauthorized biological access. It signifies the critical biological processes that maintain the integrity and privacy of biological information when not actively in use or transit.
