Hardware encryption is a hardware-based technique, which is used for securing digital data. The two forms of encryption include hardware-based encryption and software-based encryption. Hardware encryption uses a processor that contains random number of generators to generate encryption key. The key advantage of hardware-based solutions is that they eliminate the typical drawbacks of software-based solutions such as performance degradation for attacks aimed at the encryption key stored in memory. In hardware encryption, security parameters and safeguard keys enhance the performance of encryption. These security parameters protect the encryption from cold boots and brute-force attacks. Hardware encryption is a cost-effective method that holds diverse applications in securing data efficiently.

Increase in regulatory compliances regarding protection of private & sensitive data and reduction in prices of hardware encryption devices majorly drive the growth of the global hardware encryption market. Moreover, factors such as increase in concerns related to data security and privacy, rise in penetration of consumer electronics such as smartphones & tablets, and increase in complexity & risk of data breaches as well as brute-force attacks majorly drive the growth of the market. However, high capital investment and limited use of encrypted devices across some of the countries such as U.S. hinder the market growth. On the contrary, widespread adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and cloud services as well as technological advancements in encryption chips are anticipated to offer lucrative opportunities for market expansion during the forecast period.
