Encryption
From Wiki @ Karl Jones dot com
In cryptography, encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it.
Encryption does not of itself prevent interception, but denies the message content to the interceptor.
In an encryption scheme, the message or information, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted.
