Re: Quantum vs COBOL

Most encryption will be applied automatically without you needing to provide a "key". The TLS handshake between your device and the server, and subsequent data encryption, will be transparent to the user. You might need to authenticate to some sites, so you'll need a "password ", and preferably a strong one...

Same applies to streaming services. A user might see no need for strong crypto, but a provider will!
