Encryption algorithms are used to secure data by converting plain text into cipher text, which can only be read by authorized individuals who have the decryption key. The significance of encryption algorithms lies in their ability to provide confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of data. Encryption ensures that sensitive information remains private and is protected against unauthorized access, interception, and modification. It is used in various applications such as online banking, e-commerce, email communication, and file sharing. Without encryption, there would be a high risk of data breaches, cyber-attacks, and theft of sensitive information. Therefore, encryption algorithms are essential for maintaining the privacy and security of data in today's digital world.

Marek Jasinski

A personal information-processing device such as a Personal Computer surprises nobody. All its varieties, such as smartphones are commonly used. Automation and robotics are at the initial stage of its heyday. Such advanced technology is also beginning to enter other basic areas of life, such as agriculture, education, medicine, including rehabilitation, and hopefully in case of physical rehabilitation of people in a post-traumatic coma. Modern technologies such as the IoT, the Internet of Energy, Industry 4.0, Smart Grids including AC and DC microgrids or artificial intelligence, etc. are dynamically developing. However, a technological gap can be noticed here, especially in the third world or underdeveloped countries where electrical infrastructure is weak or does not exist at all. Namely, there is not an inexpensive personal device for transforming and storing energy, capable of driving an electric machine, which is the driving force behind the development of our civilization. Such a device should be adapted to many tasks, from basic ones, i.e. obtaining and storing energy from renewable sources, and transforming it into a useful form through compatibility with the concept of the Internet to artificial intelligence and human-machine system. The development of a series of personal Intelligent Power Electronic Converters with a drive and energy storage will make it possible to use it in many places and areas of life.

Smart Grid is now the buzzword in the power industry all over the world. The rise of smart grid is a boon not only to society as a whole but to all who are involved in the electric power industry, its customers, and its many stakeholders. It presents our planet with a revolutionary way of power transmission and distribution. It has even paved the way for many advanced forms of data prediction and handling, where the increased awareness of the environmental impact and the car-bon footprint of all energy sources, including electric power production, have given impetus to the growth and adopting of renewable as well as alternative energy.
