Definitions of Encryption:
- Any procedure used in cryptography to convert plaintext into ciphertext in order to prevent anyone except the intended recipient from reading that data. There are many types of data encryption, and they are the basis of network security. Common types include Data Encryption Standard and public-key encryption.
www.pki.vt.edu/help/glossary.html
- A way of coding the information in a file or e-mail message so that if it is intercepted by a third party as it travels over a network it cannot be read. Only the persons sending and receiving the information have the key and this makes it unreadable to anyone except the intended persons.

- A procedure that renders the contents of a message or file unintelligible to anyone not authorized to read it.
www.krollontrack.com/legalresources/glossary.asp
- means the use of an algorithmic process to transform data into a form in which there is a low probability of assigning meaning without use of a confidential process or key.

- The process of coding data so that a specific code or key is required to restore the original data, used to make transmissions secure from unauthorized reception.

- Encryption is the conversion of data into a form, called a ciphertext, that cannot be easily understood by unauthorized people. Decryption is the process of converting encrypted data back into its original form, so it can be understood.

- The translation of data into a secret code. Encryption is the most effective way to achieve data security. To read an encrypted file you must have access to a key or password that enables you to decrypt it. Encrypted data is referred to a cipher text.

- A method of encoding messages to provide privacy for email, discussion group postings, and other communications as they move over intranets or the internet.

- The conversion of data into a form, called a cipher, that cannot be easily understood by unauthorized people.

- The basis of network security. Encryption encodes network packets to prevent anyone except the intended recipient from accessing the data.

- The process of scrambling transmitted data over the Internet. Usually refers to the topscrambling of an e-commerce transaction in which credit card information privacy is assured.

- Prevents any non-authorized party from reading or changing data. The level of protection provided by encryption is determined by an encryption algorithm. In a brute-force attack, the strength is measured by the number of possible keys and the key size. For example, a Triple-Data Encryption Standard system (3 DES) uses 112-bit or 168-bit keys and, based on currently available processing power, is virtually immune to brute-force attacks. ...

- A technique of modifying a bit stream to make it appear to be a random sequence of bits to someone who does not have access to the encryption scheme.

- The process of cryptographically converting plain text electronic data into a form unintelligible to anyone except the intended recipient.
www.utmb.edu/is/security/glossary.htm
- A technique of scrambling transmitted data, using special software, so that only a party with the ability to unscramble the message has access to it.

- Encryption is a method of encoding data for security.

- The process of transforming plain text (readable) into cipher text that is unreadable without a special software key.

- any process to convert plaintext into ciphertext.
www.cdt.org/crypto/glossary.shtml
- Encryption is a technique used to help safeguard private information while it is sent via the Internet. To recognize that your transmission is encrypted, some browsers will display a small icon on your screen that looks like a padlock or a key, and the URL (the address or location at the top of the browser) starts with "https" instead of "http" (the extra "s"). BMO Financial Group uses 128-bit encryption, which is a very high form of encryption. ...

- Modifying data, a file for example, to prevent unauthorised access to the information.

- Encoding and scrambling data so that only the authorized recipient can read it. Used for online transaction security. Even Money - a bet that pays you back the same amount you wagered, plus your original wager - a pay-off of 1-1. Expected Return - in video poker it's the average amount paid back on a particular play for a particular bet. Expected Win Rate - a percentage of the total amount of money wagered that you can expect to win or lose over time.

- Techniques for encoding information for privacy or security, so that it appears to be random data; the reverse process, decryption, requires knowledge of a digital key.

- For telemetric information, the reversible transformation of such information that gives it a random character to prevent unauthorized access to such information.

- In computer security, the process of transforming data into an unintelligible form in such a way that the original data either cannot be obtained, or can be obtained only by using a decryption process.

- In cryptography, encryption is the process of obscuring information to make it unreadable without special knowledge. While encryption has been used to protect communications for centuries, only organisations and individuals with an extraordinary need for secrecy have made use of it. ...
