m →Polymorphic encryption: I added a couple of sentences describing how one tool uses polymorphic encryption for data usability. |

As you can see in this C++ example, the string was encrypted and each character was stored in encrypted form using [[UNICODE]] widechar format. Different encryption commands were used like bitwise [[XOR]], [[Bitwise NOT|NOT]], addition, subtraction, bit rotations. Everything is randomized, encryption keys, bit rotation counters and encryption commands order as well. Output code can be generated in [[C/C++]], [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]], [[Java (programming language)|Java]], [[JavaScript]], [[Python (programming language)|Python]], [[Ruby (programming language)|Ruby]], [[Haskell (programming language)|Haskell]], [[MASM]], [[FASM]] and [[AutoIt]]. Thanks to the randomization the generated algorithm is different every time. It's not possible to write generic decryption tools and the compiled code with polymorphic encryption code has to be analyzed each time it's re-encrypted.
Some tools use polymorphic encryption for data privacy, running multiple encryption algorithms to break up sensitive data into usable components. This allows users to generate and use large sets of data without decrypting them. <ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-07-21 |title=Skyflow Polymorphic Encryption Enables Secure PII Data |url=https://www.developer.com/security/skyflow-employs-polymorphic-encryption-enabling-secure-pii-data/ |access-date=2022-08-11 |website=Developer.com |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=What is Polymorphic Encryption? - Skyflow |url=https://www.skyflow.com/post/a-look-at-polymorphic-encryption-the-new-paradigm-of-data-privacy |access-date=2022-08-11 |website=www.skyflow.com}}</ref>
