Binary: This pertains to a base-2 number system, which uses only two digits, 0 and 1, to represent all its values. This system is used extensively in digital computers and digital logic because it’s straightforward to implement with digital electronic circuitry. As every piece of data or instruction in a computer is represented in binary, understanding and protecting binary data is critical to overall system security.
