Regulations

Business Context

Strong encryption protects financial information exchanged through APIs, but encryption and decryption introduce additional processing overhead.

Banking TRIZ Resolution

Use optimized cryptographic algorithms, hardware security modules (HSMs), and TLS acceleration so encryption remains transparent to API performance.
