Debit cards that are issued by banks come with a one-of-a-kind identifying number that adds an extra layer of protection (PINs). These personal identification numbers, or PINs, often consist of four digits for reasons relating to security. Encryption is used during the transport of data from ATMs to the computers that verify the transactions made with debit and credit cards. To protect their customers' personal information, financial institutions are required to use encryption and ad hoc data management strategies. If at all possible, please explain the reason for this action.
