'''[[Client-side]] encryption''' is the cryptographic technique of encrypting data before it is transmitted to a server in a [[computer network]]. Usually, [[encryption]] is performed with a key that is not known to the server. Consequently, the service provider is unable to decrypt the hosted data. In order to access the data, it must always be decrypted by the client. Client-side encryption allows for the creation of [[zero-knowledge]] [[application]]s whose providers cannot access the data its users have stored, thus offering a high level of privacy.
