Wikipedia

Encryption

In cryptography, encryption is the process of encoding information. This process converts the original representation of the information, known as plaintext, into an alternative form known as ciphertext. Ideally, only authorized parties can decipher a ciphertext back to plaintext and access the original information. Encryption does not itself prevent interference but denies the intelligible content to a would-be interceptor.

For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. It is possible to decrypt the message without possessing the key but, for a well-designed encryption scheme, considerable computational resources and skills are required. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients but not to unauthorized users.

Historically, various forms of encryption have been used to aid in cryptography. Early encryption techniques were often used in military messaging. Since then, new techniques have emerged and become commonplace in all areas of modern computing. Modern encryption schemes use the concepts of public-key and symmetric-key. Modern encryption techniques ensure security because modern computers are inefficient at cracking the encryption.

Examples of use of encrypt

2. "To encrypt a message in this manner, in a High Court judgment no less?
3. He said: "To encrypt a message in this manner, in a High Court judgment no less?
4. No escape They discovered that the network members used sophisticated techniques to hide electronic identities and to encrypt their communication.
5. The new phenomenon, known as Ransomware, sees cyber–criminals hack into personal computers and encrypt valuable files with complex passwords.
